In the UK some things are popular because of the daft laws we have, 243 is normally the recomended deer legal calibre and all they will let most people have on their first firearms application, and its illegal to shoot deer after dark and using any artificial illumination so most people use scopes with a larger front end to make the most of that last little bit of daylight at dawn and dusk. Its quite interesting how laws and regulations often shape how we hunt and what we use.
