i have one in 22-250 and 243 had one that was 308.
never used the 308
243 has killed many many coyotes fox bobcat and deer.
its my all time favorite rifle.
the 22-250 is just as accurate but I've only had it a couple years its going to take 20 years to catch up with ol Bessy.
i would put the 243's accuracy up against any high dollar target rig she just needs to be in just as capable hands as the target rifle.
if I'd work up a load for the 22-250 like i did with Bessy she could hold her own as well.
I'm still shooting my 1st box of ammo thru the 22-250 and she has 3 coyotes under her belt.
the triggers could use work but I've shot them so long i don't even notice the long stroke.
1st shot fired in anger out of the 22-250
the way to many to count coyote shot with of the 243
see where I've carried her around in the finish
Bessy's new face lift
my son shoots one in 22-250 also.
P.S. the 22-250 with a 50gr ballistic tip might be a little much on coyotes at 5 paces. lol
blew the rabbit it had for breakfast right out of it onto the ground beside it. looked like prairie dogs with the 300 mag. i have a pic on my phone buts probably a little to graphic
