RE: 243 or 308?
varment up to deer,no doubt the 243 but deer and up deff the 308.i'v always'd used my ruger 270 or my browning 7mm mag.i'v shot just about every rifle and these two are the best in my opinion.if your leaning towards the 243 you might want to check out the 22-250.my buddy has a browning 22-250 and it is very accurate.
