[QUOTE="bowhunthard88, post: 933845, member: 12575"] I would seriously consider the .243 AI in a 1:8" or 1:7" twist in a 28/30" barrel for 105gr to the 115gr bullets... It's really not too badly overbore for that weight, and the BC's in that weight range are awesome. This will most likely be my next target/chuck/coyote rifle, stationary of course, due to the weight. I would want to clear F-class specs, but be close to max weight in the rifle itself... The other considerations, I feel, are the 260 Rem AI, or 284 Win or 6.5x284... Honestly, if its gonna be a target gun, how often are you gonna run to Wally World for "precision target ammo" haha. You can fire standard 243 Win or 260 Rem out of the AI chambers if needed. Hey, there's a lot of options out there! It all comes down to personal preference in the end, what you want/need to accomplish your goal. I owned two .308 Win's before, one a 1:12" tactical, one a 1:12" hunter, and my last custom gun i had built in a 1:10" .308 Win... It all depends what you want. I live in NJ, so one my next build for a chuck/coyote rifle, I'm held to their laws for .257 caliber or less... So .243 AI it will be for me. Great luck and have fun with the decisions! [/QUOTE]
