Re: .243 vs 7mm-08

I'll add my 0.02 cents. I grew up hunting at a young age and the rifle I shot my first deer with is still my favorite. It was a 243 Remington Mohawk. It is a very short rifle with something like a 18" barrel, short trigger pull and had a moderate kick. It was very easy to balance from a standing position with nothing to lean on when I was probably no more than 5' tall and 100lbs. I don't see them very often and when I do they want a couple hundred more than what we bought the gun for in the 70's which tells you they are still a sought after rifle.

Here is a good discussion on the subject http://www.ngpc.state.ne.us/cgi-bin/...c;f=1;t=016217
