The Browning Lo-Wall I owned was a .223 and it was very accurate cutting groups under 1" at 100 yards. I've also owned a Ruger #1 and much prefer the Browning.
The only issue was the hammer and having enough room between the scope to cock the hammer smoothly.
I don't own either rifle now. They were sold when the shotgun bug hit but I still think about the single shots particularly the Lo-Wall. In .243 it would be a great game rifle for the purposes you describe. Should I get back into serious rifle hunting again I might have to consider the .260 Remington.
