Let’s talk about the 243win

I handled a Ruger American gen2 today. Momma kept telling me to buy it. Sure felt good. My son shoots a gen1 we put in a Magpul stock. It’s a nice rifle for the money. Wish I would of bought more for $199

Larry's Pistol and Pawn had .223 Gen 2 rifles on clearance for $425 in November. There was supposedly some type of blemishes on the stocks cerakote and they were advertised as factory blems. I ended up buying three of them and cannot find one blemish on any of them.....I kept one and put it in a Magpul stock, the other two I gave to my nephews. All three shoot way above their price point, I'm impressed.

My son in law has a Sendero 22-250 that I can’t talk him out of. Shoots everything he feeds it sub minute.

I came this close to consigning my Sendero 25.06 this week
I just couldn't do it.

My nephew with his first deer. Sane rifle I shot my first deer with, my son shot his first deer with, Ruger M77 mark 2.

If I had to have 1 rifle for anything from bobcats up to just below elk, it would be a 243. I’ve been around a lot of the new calibers. Nothing wrong with them but I’ve seen more deer get away with a 6.5 CM than I ever have with a 243. I wouldn’t be afraid to hunt elk with a 243 with the right range and bullet, but there’s just better options for that need.
