Picked up my wife's .243 yesterday. She's been hog hunting with me for some time now and using my .223. She expressed an interest in getting a deer this next year, so I felt like we needed to get her something with a little more punch. So, I purchased a standard barrel .243. It was the package deal with the scope (cheap), but the rings are pretty good. It'll suffice for a while. It has the pallet wood stocks, but they actually have a nice grain to them. It looks good and I should get out to the range with it if the weather lets up.
