I recently aquired a beautiful Remington Model 788 chambered in .243 WIN.with aWeaver scope. This gun has only been shot a few times. I have never deer hunted in my life and at age 36, have decided to give it a try. Is this rifle adequate? Also, would this gun bode well on a pig hunt?
Thanks, Mike!
That's the exact rifle my Dad gave me when I was 11. At 12, I took a thick-bodied 10 point Whitetail with it.
I took it out for my 1st hog trip this year, but it was in line behind my '06. The latter took 2 pigs on the last evening, so the .243 didn't get to draw any swine blood.
Still, I'd have no reservations about it.
