rem 700 BDL, great reliable gun that holds its value pretty well and looks sharp while keeping that classic look with the walnut stock. wouldnt trade mine for any rifle seeing as how its my first deer rifle.

i dont agree with the NO 243 or your a pansy statement though. some people would just prefer shooting 243, i can take a 243 and kill any deer within 200 yards, it has the power to do so. my dad hunted with one until he was 40 and then it was stolen. caliber when it comes to whitetail deer is all personal preference, because we arent trying to take down a moose, deer are a relatively small bodied big game animal.
