I am right with you on many of the things you had to say
i picked up my 243 tonight and some of the other patrons of the store asked me what i needed a 243 for. I said deer, and they looked at me like i should go over to the daisy section because a 243 and a bb gun should be in the same catagory.
while i was having the paperwork completed i went over to the tikka rack to see what else was there, there were 14 tikkas and they were either 7mm mag or 300 win mag.
how big is "big enough"?
