My Sako .243 rifle is very pleasant to shoot and is the most accurate hunting rifle I ever owned ( just amazing ). I bought it more for the purpose of hunting predators but used it last year for hunting whitetail deer ! Both deer I shot with the .243 rifle went down quickly and humanely which is what I like to see...that being said , I normally use a peep sighted Winchester 1886 in 45-70 caliber for deer hunting in the woods which is the ballistic opposite slow / heavy !
