...But can't decide on caliber.
i intend to use the rifle to hunt in Maryland when I have a chance to head out east to see my brother. I do not foresee shooting deer past 150 yards therefore don't believe I need an artillery gun
I have tossed around the idea of a .243, however the controversy over the round is a bit discouraging (I have read pages upon pages of .243 debate so lets not go there here
)
So, the .270 has caught a bit of interest as well as other rounds (6.5x55 and 7mm08 but being lipseys they seem scarce)
I am safe going with a .243 or should I bump up to a .270? Is there any difference in accuracy as a function of the barrel length? I would assume not because it would not be Ruger's intention to sell a rifle in a caliber that would produce poor results.
I guess what I would like to know is if any of you guys have had a chance to shoot multiple calibers with the rsi and are able to compare the results.
Thanks guys
