well i haven' t had time to really sight in my gun i work 7 days a week and that don' t leave much time for anything and i will definatly not take a gun to the woods that i' m not cofident with the onlly reason i' m asking this question is because the 243 is new and i don' t know much about them if i don' t have my gun shooting the way i want it too i will not take it i have a 30 30, 30-06 muzzleloader or a bow i can take with me that i have total cofidence in and are dead on and i have did my scouting and know where some really good deer are i mite not get one but i did my scouting and i have and 8 pointer and a doe under my belt this year so if i don' t get one i won' t be too dissapointed.please don' t think i' m not a serious hunter or responsible hunter because that is so far from the truth have a great day.
