[QUOTE=".222 ND, post: 2403186, member: 32535"] I’m not a creedmoor guy, if I didn’t already shoot a 243 and I was going to build a 6mm the creedmoor is pretty much a no brainer. I built a 8 twist 243 in 2007 and it has been my most used rifle for deer, antelope, and coyotes ever since. After about 1300 rounds through it, I recently decided it was time to have another one put together. I hired J. Ackerman in Dickinson to build one as close to the original 2007 rifle as I could get. They are both 8 twist 243’s built on sako L579 actions. I really like how the stocks fit me on these so purchasing an after market stock isn’t needed. The magazine box on a 243 is a little short for heavy bullets, that’s why I say a 6 creedmoor would be better if starting from scratch. I’ve had enough problems with ackley cartridges not feeding to realize that I don’t need anything more to do with them(6mm Remington ackley excluded) and loosing ackley brass when shooting at coyotes sucks.
