Dad bought me a .243 when I was 12. He traded it in for a 7x57 when I took up with his .30-06. I have shot deer with a 7mm rem mag , antelope with a .338 win mag. All are gone save the 7x57. My dad made numerous good shots on driven deer with it and I have shot two shells at game with that have resulted in two dead elk..........It will probably be last of the guns to leave my hands....and as a side note ,it shoots ok but never great.
