i just won a gun and it have some decisions to make and i am asking for some advice.. the choices are:
Stevens (camo) 200 Bolt 243, 270, 30/06, 7mm08, or a Mossberg 535 camo 12 guage.

i already have a remington 30/06 and i love the remington 7mm08.. that is what i have been using since i was 12. and i just got a new remington 870 super mag a couple years ago..

im just wondering what everyone else thinks would be a better gun.. i do not have a 243 or a 270 in my collection.

Scince I like rifles, my opinion might be biased, but I'd take the rifle!

personally, id take the rifle

i'd take the rifle in either 243 or 7-08

7mm-08 is one of the best over-all big game cartridges ever invented in my opinion.

If you can take somthing else or get credit or just sell and get yourself a rem Model 7 in 7mm/08 or go allthe way and get it in wsm

I would pick the 243......the 270 is just an '06 wannabe, the 7mm-08 is a step down but the 243 is a 6mm that is simply a devastating little Varmit rifle with the right bullet.....then you don't have to expend spensive bullets to kill critters....and in a pinch, the 95gr Nosler knocks deer in the dirt. Good luck and let us know what you choose. Regards, Rick.

.243 Win. Good luck.

Id take a 30-06 over 270 or 7mm-08 any day of the week. Thats my .02

I would take the 243 since it is a light recoil rifle and is the only one of the bunch that is really different from what you already have.
