RE: .243 vs 7mm08
I'm considering getting one for antelope and varmints...., the .243 that is.
If all you'll be doing is deer hunting at 200 or 300yds, then maybe I'd get the 7mm-08
but if you're considering a lighter rig....for antelope or coyotes etc....then a .243.
depends what you're really looking for...and what you may already have....
certainly I think the 7mm would have more knock down power, not a lot more but some....but if flatter shooting long ranges is what you're seeking, get a .243....
