I am thinking about a new rifle. maybe scout configged. Thinking a Remington Model 7
It will be my woods walking gun. I want something capable of 300 yard shots, Mostly for deer, but maybe Black Bear, or cougars...
Originally, I thought, got to go with a classic .308, but now, I think maybe it's time for a .243
How much power would I give up? Is the .243 more accurate? Flatter shooting?
What type of money is a box of cheap remington .243 shells going for? I want to shoot it a lot, and haven't got into reloading yet.
How about recoil. Is it much different?
Which would you choose? It's not like I need a bear stopper or an elk gun, or a SHTF rifle(SHTF can be applied to all my firearms though)
