Holston - Have you lost your mind? Everyone knows that you can't kill anything with a .243. Except the stuff you killed with it.....
Are you kidding? Everyone here knows the 243 is a magic death ray.
read the thread in the deer hunting forum. crazy.
as to the OP
Savage 308 with a fluted barrel, fully customized with a titanium suppressor. second go to I just built is a 338-06 with similar characteristics to the 308. this year I opted for the trusty 243 just because it had been a while since we whacked a deer with it. ended up getting several between friends and family with that rifle. furthest was 438 yards. so I'd say it depends on the day what the best rifle for my region is. could be hunting anything from turkeys to elk. the 243 will do it all though, and has for me.
Beware of any old man in a profession where one usually dies young.
