[QUOTE="FIGJAM, post: 1551365, member: 71039"] My 243 has killed a lot of critters. It is a youth model savage 11 with a vortex diamondback hp 4-16x42. Small, compact, lightweight...I originally bought it for my kids. It has taken a few Mule Deer, 1 really nice 4 point. All between 300-400 yards. My son who was 10 at the time smoked a nice black bear at 300 yards with it, and I also shot a black bear with it a couple years ago. Because it is so small and convenient it gets the nod a lot of the times - its my kid gun, my truck gun, my horseback riding gun etc. I think it is one heck of a cartridge. I went back and forth for months deciding between a 243 and 25-06 in either the VSSF II or the Sendero SFII for a new coyote/deer gun for myself. At the time, neither were being manufactured, so I was shopping the used market on gunbroker. I found a 25-06 first so I grabbed it. I would have easily been just as happy with a 243. One of my buddies just picked up a CZ557 Varmint in 243. I can't wait to hear how that gun shoots. It's a pretty rifle... [/QUOTE]
