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 :)

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 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.
