lizzie,

I mentioned something in my first post about you wanting to go handicapped, so go with the .243. I should clearify that statement by saying that I was being somewhat sarcastic; just as I think you were about the savage rifle. Savage rifles usually have some of the best shooting factory barrels of them all, and I speak as one who doesn't own a savage rifle (so I'm not talking in favor of what I own, but rather in favor of what I've seen).

Seriously, either cartridge will kill an antelope just fine. I love shooting the .243 though, so on that I may be biased.
