[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 2186781, member: 63925"] I would bet the 80HH would be huge improvement in any .243. The biggest issue is the 17" barrel that will kill any small caliber performance. A barrel this short is like shutting down half a V-8 or putting a governor on it. The 80HH is a 3600 fps screamer out of 26" 700 VLS. The .243 has been a good deer killer since day one but like ALL small cartridges it REQUIRES velocity to perform which REQUIRES barrel length. [/QUOTE]
