243 for the Wife

[Kelsey]

Okay so my wife has decided that she wants to deer hunt this year. I'm curious to see what you guys would recommend on a single shot .243. I've looked at Rossi, H&R, and CVA, but I've heard mixed reviews on all. I'm looking for a compact or youth as she's 5,3 115lbs. Also not looking to spend over $300.00 as this might be a one time deal once she sits in 30 degree weather for a couple of hours.

I think H&R is no longer in production.

I have a CVA in 223 that I sometimes use for hunting. It's a nice compact rifle. The trigger is decent, and it's been accurate for my distances of 50 - 100 yards. I have a 1-3x Weaver mounted on it.

"Twitch2120 Where in ga does it get 30?

You get up here around some of the mountains and it easily gets 30 degrees.

I know, it was in reference to the joke of a winter we had last year

You might want to take her a time or two, let her gut your deer, drag it out, to see if she likes it, before you invest money. Women get funny ideas in their heads.
