Take a look at the NEF Handy Rifle in 243, Not sure what the exact price is but know it is under $300. www.hr1871.com

I'll also give a nod to the NEF/H&R. A very nice rifle that shoots quite well. Also you can send your reciever back and for around $70 get a differn't barrel in a differn't caliber. For under $300 you can get one of thier nice laminated stocks and heavy barrel. For $185 you can order the plain jane black synthetic at wally world. Good luck to ya'.

I have an H&R Ultra Varmint in 243 Win and it shoots great. It was about $245. If you want a bolt action then you can pick up a used Savage 110 for about the same price. Either one will do fine.

H&R rifle is a good bargain rifle that shoots very well...tough to find a used bolt gun for under 300 bucks but they are out there.

RE: Whats a good affordable .243

I own a .243 NEF handy rifle and i love it. I shoot left handed and i tried for several weeks to no avail to get several gun dealers to order a left handed bolt action rifle. I was looking at spending between $600 and $700 dollars for the gun i wanted. I was running out of time when one afternoon at wally world i noticed the NEF and thought what the heck!!! If i dont like it i will give it to a kid....well the kids ain't getting it.

p.s. the 151" 14 point in southeastern Okla never knew the 350 dollar difference!!!!
