.243 manufacturers, any recommendations?
So yeah, I cant find the .30-06 Springfield 125 at 2660 bullets for sale. Have they been discontinued? Also, I did find the .308 Win. 125 at 2675. These are for sale, but they are like $1.50 each..... Again, would going with a larger caliber rifle but a smaller grain bullet be the smart... -

.243 manufacturers, any recommendations?
Guys, something I just realized. Please chime in here as recoil factor is pretty important to me! I just realized the larger calibers also come with smaller grain bullets, with much lower recoil numbers on this table...... https://www.chuckhawks.com/recoil_table.htm For example, the .243 100... -

Shortlist so far: 1) Ruger American Compact = $400 2) Remington Model Seven Synthetic = $600 3) Tikka T3X Lite SS = $800 Is the Tikka genuinely 2X the quality/satisfaction vs the Ruger!?? -

.243 manufacturers, any recommendations?
Definitely this. I'm going to use this rifle a handful of times per year so I dont want to overspend. However, I also want to buy once and buy right. I'm sure you guys get where Im coming from. Im not in the $1000+ rifle camp, but at the same time, its probably not the best idea to purchase... -

.243 manufacturers, any recommendations?
So for my own sanity, I complied a list of available models from stores that I can get to (Cabelas, Dicks, Bass Pro and Kittery Trading Post). The list is sorted according to price. Still a lot to research, but I wonder which one of these offers best bang for your buck. -

You guys may have seen my other post: I'm a bow guy and I'm looking to purchase my first hunting rifle (never been rifle hunting, only fired a few guns as a kid years back). I'll be using it primarily for deer hunting in the northeast (dense woods, thick brush, vast majority of shots probably... -

Do you have any recommendations for a .243 rifle? -

I didn’t know this. Interesting. So this means if you’re shooting at 6X average and I use the upper limit of your range, anything larger than a 36mm lens isn’t worth it. Good to know thanks! -

The magnification question to me seems answered. Anything between 2-10X should be fine, and maybe 6X for fixed (to be confirmed). But what about the objective lens diameter. Are there real benefits of shooting at say 6X magnification at 30mm vs 50mm? Should you always try push for a larger... -

Hey thanks. Great info. I appreciate the feedback. I'm really happy to hear that you concur about my choice of going .243 WIN. I looked up a recoil table, compared a range of different rifles etc, and the .243 seems to be the sweet spot. Would you take a fixed power scope like the FX-3... -

Interesting thanks. I checked the specs of the vx3i. Weighs 11.5oz which is great. Costs ~$350 on Amazon, not bad. Any idea how this would compare to 6X in terms of image quality (assuming 6X can even work at 50-100 yards). -

I see they have a fixed power 6X version on their website for ~$400. Weighs ~14oz. Thats not too bad. Would this blow away the variable power scopes in the same price range? Would 6X be too much magnification for 100 yards? -
