While I am guilty of preferring old straight cased ,large caliber chambered rifles that shoot heavy bullets with rainbow trajectories.......my .243 caliber rifle has cleanly killed a couple deer requiring one shot each that I just bought before last deer hunting season ! I bought the rifle for the main purpose of varmint hunting go figure !
Very little recoil , flat shooting , and can be chambered in light easy carrying rifles.....what's not to like !
