When I grew up there was no internet or forums...around here there was the 30-30, the 30-06, and the do all 243....I got a 700 ADL 243 new for $124.95....we got whatever ammo we could source....used the iron sights for a couple years due to budget....killed more things with it than all my custom guns combined....something to be said for youth and being out there pulling the trigger on anything and everything about every day....it was supposed to be a do all and we followed that...Still have the action but it is a 6BR sporter....been thinking about getting another 243 for nostalgia....
....Said the man who calls himself 7_08fan.....
Just kidding. The 243 is a great cartridge and many would do well to hunt with one.
