[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 620172, member: 307"] Stix, Welcome to LRH, glad to have ya. You're home! I shoot both the .243 and .25-06 and both are great rounds but need heavy, high BC bullets to reach their full potential. IMO, discussing standard factory rifling twist, the .243 is capable but limited to 500yds - the .25-06, maybe out to 650yds, for deer sized game.

If Savage rifles are available across the pond I would check them out. Lot's of models, calibers and are noted for their out of box accuracy. My two routinely print less than 3" groups at 500yds. For scopes, you see what I use. I like magnifaction. If I can't see it - I won't hit it. Again, welcome and come back. JohnnyK. [/QUOTE]
