From prone or over the hood of the truck with the bipod this thing flat rocked. .243 didnt let much of anything get away when used like that.

However...... for a calling rifle, it had way to much glass on it, heavy enough to suck if you were going very far. And quick shots didnt ussually work well....

.223 ruger hawkeye isnt as nice to shoot prone as that .243 was. But its alot nicer to carry, and quick shots are much more doable.
