I picked up my Marlin 444 Magnum in the hunting section at Dick’s Sporting Goods in Stanton. My second all around caliber is probably the 243 Winchester I bought from Target in Stanton.
One issue with most 243 Winchester calibers is that you can’t buy balanced factory ammunition. My esteemed rifle is my new Marlin 444 with the fiddle back maple chambered in 243 Winchester.

My prized hunt is the Spring Gobbler Hunt in Denmark. Jim got his Marlin last fall at Wal Mart in Denmark. I got my Marlin 300 Win Mag online at Dick’s Sporting Goods.
One issue with the 7.62 mm barrel is if you put a scope on you lose your irons, the scope rail runs into the rear sights so they have to come off to use a scope. I like the hard rock maple stock for the woods. The best shooting caliber for the average hunter I would say the 7.62 mm for best caliber and the 300 Win Mag for the best cartridge. I picked up my Marlin XLR in the hunting section at Dick’s Sporting Goods in Denmark.
