I just snapped up a vintage Sako Forester (1969) in MINT condition from Kenny Jarrett of Jarrett rifles. Only non-stock item is careful glass bedding of the action. Heavier than usual barrel 24" long and SWEET. Just got a Trijicon with a 50mm objective to mount on it.
This is a SERIOUS deer/varmint rig if I ever saw one.

not impressed, I could shoot that 250 yards easily with my .243 ;)

@churd243 Dont be so defensive we are all on the same side here. Im sure that your rifle is very accurate. Ishoot a .243 Savage in tactical match and it works great.

@churd243 It is called terminal velocity and it is USUALLY around 100 - 140 MPH depending on the shape of the object of course. a large light object like a feather will fall more slowly than a heavy small object like a .30 cal lead ball. but even the ball will top out at around 140 mph

@corndog815 .243 is a great rifle for almost anything from varmints to deer and almost no recoil

What would be the perfect calibre, prefferably under a .270, for a young bloke to shoot that could take down a pig or a goat?

ahh .243 awsome gun. effective on mulies even past at 400 yards and possibly farther. 400 is my longest shot on 1 so idk any other distances
Churd243,
Do you have to insult people to prove the accuracy of a rifle?
You're one of them kids with big mouth and little action. You can't even see a matchstick from 150 yards!
I bet you can't even estimate the 150 yard distance :)

Ma5rad, simply not true. A heavy 243 bullet is 100 grains, out of a 7.5 lb rifle recoil energy= 8.8 lb/ft. A typical 308 win has a 150 gr bullet, out of the same weight rifle = 15.8 lb/ft recoil energy (both typical factory load velocities). You can look all this up- the 308 isn't a heavy-kicking rifle but the 243 simply kicks much less. More important is a good fit as far as the stock goes...
