Remington 600 Mohawk. One of the few rifles I bought when I was young that I still have. Paid $106 new for it in .243. Short barrel, but who cares if its MOA with factory ammo out to 100 yards. I like Winchester 760 in it...very accurate...sub MOA when using 85 grain Sierras. IMR 4350 with 100 to 105 grain bullets is extremely accurate as well.

An 18 year-old grandson of mine borrowed it last fall and got his first big mule deer with a heart shot on his first hunt. (he was using 100 gr. Remington Corelokts). I believe it was a 130 yard shot. Damned smartalec kid.

BTW, I don't believe deer care one way or the other about the slightly lower velocity of shorter barrels. They still have the potential to be accurate as hell.
