My point is I don't thik someone going up to scotland needs to go buy more gun if they own a 243. They just need to know their capabilities with the rifle.
couldn't agree more.....shot placement shot placement...ad naseum.
I seem to recall Lea Macnally,(RIP) one of the foremost deer stalkers in the highlands once saying (in a shooting times uk article)that he had used evrything at one time or another from .22 to .303 etc for red deer and now he had finally settled on and would not move from the 243...flat shooting accurate ad naus...low recoil ad naus... shot placement ad naus... yet again.
ER!! did I mention shot placement and accurate shooting yet again.
sorry
