[QUOTE="sneedb82, post: 280791, member: 17602"] Thanks for the comments. So far it's a great gun (I think I just got super lucky on the coon shot, less than 20 feet away, DRT, no exit wound, Horn VMax 40gr). Anyway. I am in a little need of help... I want to get a .243 for various purposes, but mostly for an additional varmint rig, but one that will take down a deer.... but then there's the issue of pig rifle. I don't have a pig rig yet. Should I just go up to a .300 and scrap the idea of the .243 for the time being (seeing as money is my issue right now).... or should I choose something like a .270WIN or .308? I'm planning a budget of $600 for the rifle, and not including the scope *yet*. i'm partial to the new Marlin .308 Express, which i've seen good things about that, but the lever is more than the $600 budget right now. If you guys could lead me/steer me in the direction you think would be great, I'd appreciate it. I know I've seen some threads on this, but it seems the .300 and the .308 are the most popular with all here. [/QUOTE]
