I have a Tikka T3 in .223 that I got to shoot coyotes with and its become my all around everything gun. Ive killed about 10 deer with it so far and not one has made it more than 50 yards. It has no kick at all and for a smaller caliber its devistating when it hits. Ive killed a few 300 lbs plus hogs and it folded them up like a taco. Im not a fan of the .243 ive lost alot of deer with it. I have a .300 and .270 that I haven't shot since I got my .223.
