[QUOTE="gillettehunter, post: 625251, member: 25760"] For just deer hunting the .243 does a good job. I have a friend w/ a 7mm 08. It has less recoil than my sons .243. All in the gun and loads I guess. If the potential is there to ever use it for other than deer I'd definitely look at the .260 or the 7mm 08. Lots of bullet choices that will work better. My son took his .243 to Africa last may. Killed 3 impala, 1 springbuck and a Bushbuck with 1 shot. He also killed 2 Lechwe in 1 shot with the .243. The guide said to shoot and he did just as a young Lechwe jumped in front the big bull. Complete pass through on both animals! Neck only on the younger one. Barnes 80 gr. TTSX. Depends on what what you like. Bruce [U][I][B][/B][/I][/U] [/QUOTE]
