hey,
I have a NEF .243 and I love the gun! I shot my first deer with it and today I'm going to take it out coyote hunting. It's cheap to shoot, easy to shoot, fun to shoot, and is almost recoiless. The only problem is its really loud but thats okay cuz when the adreniline is rushing it doesn't seem so loud. So if I were you I would get the .243.

Good luck
