[QUOTE="dan25, post: 919977, member: 47126"] I shoot a Tikka t3 in 22-250 with 50 grain supperformance ammo. I can tear holes at 100 yards. I have a burris Signature Select 4x16. I love this rig. My brother just bought a Ruger American in 243. I sighted it in for him at shot it at 100,200, and 300 yards. I was shooting 95 grain Federal Fusions. 3/4" at 100 yds, 1" at 200, and 300 yards I shot a 2 shot 1/2" group!! I do a lot of shooting and I have a picture to prove it. He has a Leupold 2x7 duplex on the Ruger. I like the feel of the Ruger, and the clip is a awesome feature for predator hunting in cold weather (no fumbling shells and dropping them in the snow). With that said, my brother also owns a 22-250 for predator hunting, but bought this gun for his son who was starting to deer hunt. This gun killed 2 deer; both one shot kills with the Fusions. I have seen the pelt damage with both a 22-250 and a 243. The two are very similar depending on ammunition. The drop between the two is almost identical out to 400 yards, but the 243 bucks the wind better.
