[QUOTE="jeff29414, post: 2210403, member: 117993"] just my 2 cents - 243 and 7mm-08 are both good rounds. I have a Mauser M18 in 243 and I get 3/4" groups at 100 yds. I shoot 95gr Berger Classic Hunter bullets, but I recently went up to .308 because the 243 just doesn't have the knockdown the .308 does and I lost a couple deer in the swamp after heart shots here in SC. 7mm-08 has bigger bullets (and seem to be easier to find) so would be better, but .243 had taken a lot of deer. If it's an area where you'll be able to track or do neck shots, it is a very light recoil. I am deaf in right ear so I got a set of Walker electronic earbuds and they are great. They amplify the sound so I can hear deer walking easily, but any sounds above 85db is knocked out. Shot 50 rounds of .308 testing various loads and my ears were not even ringing at all and was able to carry on conversations easily. Good luck - [/QUOTE]
