Quote from 260RemGuy:
"A tale of 2 243s:
#1 is a Remington 700 SA CDL-SF bedded in a McM McM Hunter stock. It shoots MOA and cost around $1,600 as it sits.
#2 is a Marlin XS7. It shoots MOA and cost around $500 as it sits.
Which rifle is a better value for a novice or casual whitetail hunter?"
It's even worse than that, RemGuy. The Marlin XS7 is available in .243 (blued, synthetic) right now for $250.
