Looking to buy a .243 for my fiance for the upcoming hunting season. Looking for something that can stabilize heavier bullets for medium sized game, mainly deer. She is not too fond of my .338 lapua and I do not feel comfortable letting her use my AR with 75 grain pills for long range.
This gun will eventually also be used for paper targets out to 800-1,000 yards and will be taking deer up to 600 yards or so. I am mainly interested in Remington or Savage actions. I have had luck with Savage actions thus far but would not rule out a 700 action that can be trued and worked on when funds become available.
Looking to stay south of $750 for just the rifle. Dies, brass, and bullets included would also help.
Thanks,
Brandon
