For just over $300, would this be a smart purchase for the short range hunts in South Central TX?

Details, I got a chance to pick up a model 11XP3 in .243W with a sporter barrel. I am not all that familiar with the .243 chambering, but research tells me it is a quite versital caliber. From what I can tell, this particular rifle was a limited edition package deal with Camo pattern...looks really nice.

Thoughts? Advice?

Thank you in advance
