I have to go along with Boltman.Buy just the rifle and put decent rings and scope on it.I also agree that the .243 will kill a deer but there are much better calibers. Why not go with a 30-06?There are so many different bullet weights to choose in 30-06.You won' t go wrong with a Savage.Whatever you do stay away from the Remington 710.
Ruger Redhawk
