243 Win. still popular as a varmit rifle???? - 05/24/12
Lately, I have been thinking of adding a 700 varmit in .243 to my list of varmit rifles...years ago I had several light .243's..shot some varmit with them, actually quite a few..then went to the .22-250's and .222/223 calibers...for many years..now in addition to the .22 cal. centerfires, I have been shooting my .25-06 and .270 on coyotes...in the last few mths. I have been looking over the 700 laminated varmiter in 243...Haven't heard much about it being used on varmits these days...is it still a popular round for this or mostly used by deer hunters??????
