I agree, except my 9 year old beat me to it, I was using a steyr 7mm08 and he shot two deer at 100m and 200m through the heart with it, just because it was there. I wound up buying him a Tikka 7mm08.
I own a Sako A7 in .243 Calibre. I use Hornady 95gn SST Factory Ammo. Zeiss 3-9 x 40 Scope. The best I got on the 100m target shot off a makeshift bench was three bullets through the same hole at 9 power. One thing I have done is treat the rifle with Froglube, I use nothing else.
