[QUOTE="John Scott, post: 1583343, member: 109314"] .243 Winchester is a dual purpose caliber from varmints on up to and including big game. It's a very flat shooting round that can be found in bullets 55 grains up to 115. It's my favorite and a very popular cartridge. 30-06 is way over kill on predators and even deer in my honest opinion. The .243 hits with authority without the overkill. We hunt bear here with the .243 without issues. The .243 is the rifle you should be looking at. More power then a .223 and cheap and easy to reload. .243 is a pleasure to shoot at the range all day long and you won't do that with the 06. You can get a Remington 783 .243 for about $300.00. Top if off with a Nikon Scope for around $150.00 and your in the game with a accurate rifle out to 500 yards. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
