Keep an eye on Gun Owner's Club. I've actually found some bargains there.

.243 will do the job, Deer and Coyote alike. I have the savage 110 its a great rifle. I use the 100 grain for both game.

The only negative is that you are limited to hunting bullets when buying from big box stores. If you wanted a FMJ for practice, well I have not found any yet. I am sure someone makes it.

**gregintenn** · 10-27-2009, 03:12 PM

Why can't you practice with hunting loads? FMJs cheaper?

**quesogrande** · 10-27-2009, 03:51 PM

Are you just sighting in or shooting on a reg. bases. I am calling practice, shooting on a reg, bases, ( all year long ) . I would say in general the hunting bullets would be more. You can't hunt with FMJ, ok you shouldn't hunt with FMJ

Thanks, that looks great, perfect in fact, and we've worked out a deal. It's just the logistics of getting the two of us together, in the same place, and at the same time! If the two of us can agree to hold our guns for two weeks, we probably have a solid deal!

Thanks for the tip.

Thanks for the tip. I spend a lot of time on the sight. In fact, have a possible deal pending on there right now. I hope we'll be able to close on it in a couple of weeks.

I'd be surprised if that ain't a real good shooting rifle. Looked like a fair price as well.

Still looking for that Savage Model 110 in .243 caliber...pre-accutrigger, synthetic. Got Christmas cash, or can do a trade with someone. cjwaa1@msn.com or 615-519-3680. Thanks.

Warbird, I appreciate all the information on the .243. As I mentioned earlier in this thread, I'm trying to triangulate a little bit here. I'm wanting a rifle that shoots a suitable round for coyotes, one suitable for deer, and one that doesn't break the bank to shoot. I believe the .243 would fill those three requirements just fine. A friend of mine reloads .243 which makes it even better. Now, if I could just find a nice one for sale... in the Savage 110 .243!
