Is .243 big enough???

would a 243 do the job?

Yes!

Yes!

Agreed, for a varmint round it does a passable job on deer with 100gr bullets.

FEOs love it as well 'cos it's smaller than a .308 - and that must be better.

Having said that I've sort of got one myself: Blaser ES67 Bockbüchsflinte in 12b/.243 and it's a great little gun for kicking around the hedgerows with.

Is it a new rifle in 7mm or a similar calibre to replace an inadequate .243?

Can you get amax in .50 cal?

If it was a Roe, I think he might have actually needed a dog just the same. Or maybe not.

 

[palmer_mike]

Maybe need a dog to find all the bits.

And have we got one off a 243 ?
