Perhaps I missed it but, where did Burns or anyone else say that the 243 is the end all?

+1 Million. The guy forgot more about handling a rifle then I will ever hope to know. I for one will not sell every rifle I own and run out and buy a 243 because of that video. All that video shows is equipment used properly suffices at long range. In the real world cattle are killed with a bolt gun and how does that compare with a 243 ? That was one of the more humane elk kills I have seen at least on a video. My hat is off to Mr Burns and his Daughter. The only danger I see in the video is that some halfwit will run down to his local store buy all the equipment, sight it in at the 100 yard range and then think he is set for 1k.
