RE: .243 range

My son has shot several deer with a .243 one at almost 200 yards. Good choice low recoil

RE: .243 range

Farthest for me was 246 yards.. 2 steps and he was done... About 300 is as far as I feel comfortable, but the 243 can reach out beyound that..

RE: .243 range

.243 is a great gun. I live in the catskill mountains and use a 243. I shot 2 deer about 500 yards away with mine both fell rite there. I also shot a 220lb dressed buck walking away at about 100 yards he only took 5 steps and lights out. (bullet entered just behind ribs came out in front shoulder.)
