My brother in law had one, and I had the .243WSSM. Neither of us had them very long. However. When we were sighting them in both shot well out to 400 yards. Granted neither rifle made it through the break in period, before someone offered more then was paid for both. Got to love Wally world. either rifle for $379( with Simmonds 3-9 scope attached) I think . on the Win website MSRP is $550-600 ( without the scope) I dont remember which. So who is to argue about someone offering 500 for each. LOL..
I like the .243 WSSM a little better, but the .223WSSM is a right handy round. I dont think you would have a problem taking anything down up to Elk sized. I use the .223 to hunt mulies out here. Never had any problems taking one down, unless I made a bad shot. The rounds have always done the job if the shooter made good also.
