[QUOTE="el matador, post: 1484846, member: 12193"] I agree that it should be her choice in the end, but giving her some good information is also important. In the opinion of many seasoned hunters the .243 is a bit lacking for deer-sized game. I know several hunters (including myself) that have used .243s in the past with marginal results. None of us continue to use this cartridge because there are better choices available with similar recoil. The rifle itself might be more important than the chambering. While I prefer the 7mm-08 for deer I would still rather carry a well-fitting rifle in 6.5 CM than a 7-08 that feels awkward. [/QUOTE]
