RE: A bunch of questions....? which .243 rifle for antelope ?
I would but a T/C ICON in 243 Winchester. Get yourself a nice set of rings with a Leupold scope. I wouldn’t but a 240 Weatherby Magnum, ammo &/or brass too expensive. The 243 Winchester using 95 or 100 grain Nosler Partitions is all you need for deer/antelope. Also like the Hornady 75 or 87 grain V-max for varmints.
