I completely understand your wanting to have a gun that will nail a deer to a tree but this guy you are questioning is more that enough to take any dang game down!

What are you truly trying to acomplish? If you want to take any game down buy this gun... Remember, the power of this gun will in most any range simply go stright through a (deer) inturn, yes killing it but for the money and the power you are talking about spending , why?

If this is the rifle you want then so be it. On the other hand your are talking about hunting,deer.

I have been very fortunate to be able to experience many acpects of hunting, most of all,the best gun I have TRULY found to hunt deer with is a 243 using,100gr.

1 to more than 250 yards this rifle will take down any deer, period!

I do have a selection of rifles, for many types of large game, ranging from 30-06, 30-30, 7MM, 308 and even slug guns namely, 20ga and 12ga.

So far the most reliable hunting choice has been my 243. Great path, range and good impact!!!

800 yds? Like you said Range and accuracy. The 243 will do all of the above, and so will most of all other calibers, but the 243 is a well balenced rifle for deer hunting.

I have even taken much larger game with this caliber, w/ one shot!

And as far as distance a 243 will for the most part exceed most other guns, with accuracy.

Use a GOOD scope and nail your target right, that's it, all is said.



KEEP HUNTING THE GREAT OUTDOORS & GOD ALIVE, PASS IT ON!
