Why do you say that??? Most savages i've come into contact with drive tacks... I wouldn't buy one of the package deals though, the scopes are trash...

I said that to thwart the responders that seem to read not too well.
lizzie,
I mentioned something in my first post about you wanting to go handicapped, so go with the .243. I should clearify that statement by saying that I was being somewhat sarcastic; just as I think you were about the savage rifle. Savage rifles usually have some of the best shooting factory barrels of them all, and I speak as one who doesn't own a savage rifle (so I'm not talking in favor of what I own, but rather in favor of what I've seen).
Seriously, either cartridge will kill an antelope just fine. I love shooting the .243 though, so on that I may be biased.

Hands down, the 25-06. It can be used for target, varmit, very effictive on deer and I have known a couple of elk to have been brought down very effectivly with it. I personally would not use it for elk unless it were at shorter distances (50 to about 150yds).
