It's just my opinion, but I like the 250-3000 better than he 243. I had a Rem 700 classic in the 250 Savage, and really liked it. Someone wanted it more than I did, and put enough money in front of me to give it a new owner.
I'm sure the 243 is effective, and would make a fine combination deer varmint round.
While off topic, or at least on the outer fringe, I DO like the 257 Roberts the most (though not offered) as you can shoot a 120 grainer. I wish the 257-08 was more popular. That seems like a good idea- but then again the 260 Rem/7mm-08 would be even better.
In short, flip a coin. Both the 243 and 250 Savage are the same from a performance stand point. Both are good for their intended purposes.
