If a .22 magnum will, why would'nt a .243??

I shot 2 very nice 8-Point Bucks with my .243 Browning bolt action Rifle,several nice Doe's and a couple of coyotes for good measure!I've shot the Bucks at around 60 yards away and 100 yards away,good shot placement is a must and that can be said about most any caliber Rifles.My Daughter also shot a nice Doe with her Rossi single shot .243 Rifle

Depends on shot placement, bullet, and circumstance!

lets not challenge each others ability to shoot or not shoot at running deer. It is a choice. And some people choose to and some choose not to. Doesn't mean they don't have the ability.

Is the .243 a Remington also? What is the make and model of the .243 rifle? Thank you.

i use a .243 and it drops deer if you hit them right. i love the caliber, its the sweetest little gun. you can use it for pretty much anything you want. its an all around caliber

The .243 was invented by Winchester, but everybody makes it now, not just Winchester, it's not like a company kept a strict copyright on who could make the guns in that cartridge, but the "Win." at the end of ".243" sticks, to give credit to the company that invented it.

You can find the .243 Win in just about every shape and configuration you can think of, single-shot, bolt-action, semi-auto, even pump, heck you can find one in full-auto!(Ok, maybe that's going a bit too far, lol)

Pick whatever one fits your budget, with money left over to buy a scope, targets,and some ammo, then go down to the range after you get the scope put on there, sight it in, and then start researching deer behavior before the season opens, go to the range again the week before season opens to get your gun more accurate, and then.......go deer hunting!!!!!!

I actually have two 243s currently, one is a Remington Model 700, the other is a Savage special run gun (medium heavy, stainless fluted). I shot all my deer with my Tikka 243, that I no longer have. I traded it off last winter after I had shot the barrel out of it. I put around 3800rds of 243 ammo down the tube in 4 years. I am thinking about buying another Tikka 243 this fall when my local dealer runs a special on them.
