Just a word of thanks for the advice I received with regards to buying a new rifle. I asked about .243 or 25/06 and what brand to buy and got a lot of great answers. Based on those answers, I just got home with a Ruger American .243. I just wanted to say that I appreciated the time that people took to answer my questions.

Now we want to hear how it shoots!

And how it kills . . .

I dont have the scope yet. Gonna put a Leupy VX3 3.5X10 on it but it may take a few weeks or more to get it as I will buy it through the Firearm Safety Training Instructor program for the big discount.
I suppose I could just shoot it with rings on it. They are kinda like an oversized peep site, right?

Yah. You might want to shoot at an oversized target.
I have wanted to try that but never thought of it at the right time.
I got to shoot one of those Rugers in .308 and was amazed! Enjoy yours.
The Mayans had it right. If you�re going to predict the future, it�s best to aim far beyond your life expectancy, lest you wind up red-faced in a bunker overstocked with Spam and ammo.

from a rest, I can hit a man sized target with just rings at 75 yards.
Its not great, but it will do in a pinch.
