I bought another one just tonight. It is a Remington 700 ADL in .243. It's a versatile weapon. Some use it for predator hunting, mainly coyotes. It's a common whitetail deer caliber too. When I first started killing deer at long ranges, it was my first gun I used. Whitetails can be cleanly taken out to 400 yards and more. If one is strict to keeping to the "recommended" 1,000 ft. lbs. of energy to kill a deer, a 95gr. Remington Premier Accutip still retains almost a thousand pounds at 400 yards with the .243. It's a very good deer caliber and I think you will be very happy with it.

Good luck,
