Best deal

[boomer92266]

I m area they are some goods deals on some rifles and I have saved enough to get one and just want your opinions on what is the best deal. I already have a good setup but figured that i couldn't pass one of these up. One deal is a brand new Ruger American Gen 1 243, it is priced at $399. One is a Ruger American Gen 2 243 at $519 and the third is a Savage 110 with black stock and blued barrel in 308 with Vortex Crossfire scope with drop reticle for $459. Now I have shoulder trouble that has cut me back to 243 when hunting coyote's and groundhogs as well as deer. But I thought that I might deer hunt with a 308 as not too much shooting on themat once and use my 243 for smaller stuff even tho it dropped me a deer last year. What would y'alll get? Thanks

I think for the most part a 243 will kill any deer the same as the 308, except maybe really long range where a heavier bullet would carry better, so speaking for myself i would probably go with the gen 1 with the lower price and put the difference into a better scope and more ammo

308? My goodness ….how big are deer in Kentucky?

Get the .308...It'll hold more of it's value in the future, and be capable of more right from the get go.

Get the Gen 2 it's a better gun than the other 2. Not a thing east of the Mississippi that'll walk off a hit with a properly placed .243 chosen for the task.

You'll never be upset having a better gun.
