Oh, i’m a happy little camper.

I won’t ever own a single shot hunting rifle (when an 80 kg pig or a 600kg scrubber comes out of the bush I feel better knowing I’ve got a couple of shots in hand 
) but that’s a nice looking piece 
Huge pigs and crazy pissed off cows are not really a problem when I’m chasing goats, foxes or fallow deer which is what this will be used for.
I’m mostly looking for a weight saving over the smle sportier I’ve been lugging up and down mountains, not that I’ll be parting with the trusty ol’ three oh any time soon.

You would want to be keen shooting bulls with a 243, if he wasn’t already crazy and pissed off shooting him with a 243 will soon make him lol.

I think he has you there.
I was more thinking of the sand hills up where the goats are, not the lazy stroll we did, lol. 
Plus you told me you didn’t need a 243 coz you got those buck thirtys for the -06.
@juststarting thanks for that. Good belly laugh. I needed that.
@GUN-DMC Correct don’t need a 243. The lightish 30-06 loads will be fine. And stopped looking. But bloody good buy. Reminds me of a 45-70 I’ve seen around.
That’s why I check the used gun sites 5 times a day Lol!
Pffft, rookie
Nah mate I use 90gr on scrubbers in the 243 out to about 80 mtrs. Not shooting for trophies so head or meat saver shots will drop them at those types of ranges. 
For a bit of an example of the capability of the 243 Google “Tiny bullet Big bull” and watch a bloke take a buff with one!!
Yeh, not bad. 28" is a long barrel. I think I’m just a tyre kicker 
Read tight arse.
But I spotted a new Marlin x7 243 this morning for $595 with a cheap scope. I looked for one for a few months ages ago and nothing turned up. Tempted but settled on the current option unless a super cheap Bargain turns up.
The Marlin would be a good buy if you were looking for a hunting rifle in 243.
