SOB! Your right !
I've had a 243 win. of some brand or another, my whole adult life. There may a be more versatile cartridge on varmints up to and including mule deer but I'm not sure what it is. Great for women and kids too, light recoil in lightweight rifles, a wide range of bullet weights, all ammo manufacturers build ammo for it, what's not to like, think I'll keep mine too!

Model sevens are my personal favorites. Fits me perfect. Thanks to all who has replied so far.

Shoot, I have a 700 BDL for at least 50 years that I would not part with.
How I wish I'd bought a few when they were common….m7 in 7/08 has been many kid's first rifle here locally. What a great woods rifle
I currently have 2 of them I would not part with. What else kicks like a kitten and hits like a truck out to 250 yards? Sure they split a few necks once in a while but they flat out work for 90% of what I hunt. Little brothers to the .25-06 and don't get me goin' on that!

My 243 is a Ruger 77R. Bought it the first year of production, 1967. Serial # 1xxx. Still have the original box , in excellent condition.

I have my Winchester model 70 featherweight in 243 . I shot my first buck with it my son shot his first buck and my daughter shot her first buck with it so they will have to do rock paper scissors for it

I've got 2. A Rem model 7 and a Win model 70. They are for the younger grandkids, for now. I will be taking them up a notch when they are no longer being used by the kids. Fun little missile launchers.
