.243 and 4x scopes?

[trigger45]

s there any body in here that has a low power scope on there .243? I like what i see looking through my 6x scope on my '06 but think the lower power will searve me just as well.

I have a NEF Superlite handi rifle in 243 with a 3x-9x that rarely moves from 3x and then only on the range and occasionly at a ground hog.

My son hunts with a Remington Model 7 in .243 with a Burris fixed 4X. It has served him well thus far.

Got a 6X on mine

An old Ruger M77, tried a 4X, but for little California groundsquirrels, the magnification just wasn't cutting it.
6X works better as most of the shots Itake are in excess of 150yds.

well, I have an 06, but I use a 4X on mine.

I think a 4 power is adequite for most if not all north american big game hunting (except the stuff at hard off the muzzle ranges)
