as the saying goes " that is why they make Fords,Chevy's, and Dodges"
same with guns,and cal.
theres one for everyone......the 243 is for "ME" as boltman said he would get flamed about his statement. Boltman;considered your slef flamed !!!! lol<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> as he also said about someone talking 100 deer with the 243,I haven't taken that many;I have taken in the range of 60 to 70 with mine over the 30 or so years I have hunted with it.
I have also taken in excess than 100 hogs with mine.(I have onlt shot one that I wonded and didn't get"

none have gone over 50 yards after the shot!
just my 2 cents,there are 98 more!!<img src=icon_smile_approve.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_cool.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_approve.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
