THE 270 I USE HAS NEVER LET ME DOWN, I SHOOT DEER OFF MY FRONT PORCH AT 250 /275 YRDS. NONE HAS EVER MOVED OVER 15-20 FT. , MOST HAVE DROPPED IN THEIR TRACKS.

Since when can you "legally" kill bears in Florida? You got me good if that was a joke...

not a joke
There used to be a bear season in Fla. until several years ago. I guess the tree huggers done some kind of survey and said there were not enough bears in fla to justify a season, so they closed it down..
with stipulations that will probably never be re-instated to allow the taking of bear in fla. ever again.
Opinions are like A** holes...... everybody has one!!!

Back to the original question. I do have a .243 for sale. 2 years old Rossi single shot. Comes with unfired 20 gauge and .22 barrels. My son has out grown it. The .243 barrel has a Simmons 3x9x40 scope that has never been in the woods. I will take $250 for the whole deal.
