[QUOTE="lisasman, post: 1970198, member: 98221"] Have you considered the 6BR? Based on your requirments, distance, wind bucking capability and low recoil I think this would be almost perfect and not so overbore that that you pull off target, reduced chance of dangerous through passes and great barrel life. You could simple rebarrel to .223 or stay with .222, with either get a fast twist barrel (1:8 or 7) and shoot the heavier bullets with much better ballistics and wind bucking capability. This is probably your most cost effective options since they are the same bolt face as you currently have. Criterion has some excellent prefit barrels (barrel nut design). If you call Solid Accuracy who is their exclusive dealer he can spin it up for you shouldered and has many more options for chamberings other than those listed on the Criterion website. I have a Tikka 30-06 that I am getting ready to have him convert to a 22 Creedmoor with a fact twist barrel for long range varmint hunting. I also have the Tikka Varmint in 204 Ruger and love that rifle. I do have the Tikka in .243 shooting the 87 gr VMAX, I think this is way more than you need, even suppressed pulls of target and just a lot for foxes (although it is a great shooting rifle).
