Thanks again, and Happy Hunting, Ryan |

| 2008-04-29 | Patty | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you Steven, Your answer makes such good sense.When you are in the middle of a dilema you do not always think clearly. I think I will stay with the remington 700 CDl 243 in the left hand model. I'm sure i will keep it for a long time and maybe my daughters will have to shoot with the bolt on the wrong side for them when they get it from me. If I decide to try bigger animals I will just be happy to get anothet gun! I'm a good shot and like to practice and of the 3 animals I shot at so far all did go down on the first shot.I think as a beginner the lighter caliber is likely to get more practice shots because of the lighter recoil. Thanks again, Patty |
