Years ago I had the chance to buy a Finnish Valmet in .243
Seemed a bit extravagant and odd at the time.
Should have bought it :)

Doesn’t this blog have editors? Why is the writing so terrible?

Sorry to complain, but honestly, the writing is so poor on many of the Am Shooting Journal articles that they’re unreadable.

I am a .308 kinda guy, that and .223, just because the stuff is ubiquitous.
Gee I hope I did not piss off the grammar police.

My late sister used to use a .243 for deer hunting. She would usually call it a .432 because it sounded bigger. She was an expert shot with it though.

Adequate. It’s a tad on the light side for anything larger than an Eastern Whitetail IMHO.
Rule out the really bigger stuff-and it’s fine. Its lack of recoil is a big plus.

I should have bought that Valmet just for weird collectable factor.

I had a Valmet over and under. A .243 over a 12 gauge. There was a flip up sight on the rib. Even with iron sights it was extraordinariy accurate. No easy way to mount a scope.
Another one of those I should have kept. Metal work was first class but the walnut stock was just good. Several small mistakes in the checkering.
It would shoot like a house on fire tho.

My .243 Win has shot a lot of Whitetails. Great rifle!
To: yarddog
Just an odd platform.
Love It!

Doesn’t this blog have editors? Why is the writing so terrible?They don't seem to care. I've actually written to them and their response was 'yeah, tell me about it.'
To: ImJustAnotherOkie
You’re right, that must be it. :)

The grammar police are ubiquitous.
Not only that, they are everywhere...
