The .243 is a Henry single shot. Its good and accurate. I’m decent with the shotgun too though. At 75 yards I usually shoot about a 5 inch group.

Ya. I’m leaning towards the shotgun and just keeping shots under 75 yards. Seems the safer and quicker route..would sting pass one at a further distance up, but I suppose it’s the responsible thing to do unless I shell out a few bucks for a new rifle.
