I have two NEF rifles (no .243 barrels unfortunately) and I love 'em both. As for the .243, I use a 6mm Rem for almost everything I hunt. 6mm is the same bullet in a slightly larger casing, and by all the numbers I've seen and personal accounts, they perform neck-to-neck in almost every way. A NEF in .243 is a winning combination for a deer rifle, no matter how you look at it.

And +1 again for Art---"It kills bigger than it oughta."
