[QUOTE="wildcat, post: 187956, member: 4557"] I have heard the 6x47 is a getting more popular and performing well. I think it depends on how often you are going to shoot F-Class compared to varminting. If your going to shoot F-Class a bunch, I would probably go with the 6x47. However, if you are going to use this rifle more for varminting, I would go with the 243 AI because of the following reasons; 1. Better Performance, about 500fps more using the 243 AI with all bullets. 2. More load information 3. Better kill power at longer ranges 4. Better Re-Sale value Here is a quick VELOCITY comparison between the 6x47 and the 243 AI using a 28" barrel and the 105grn Berger VLD ; 1. 6X47-2700fps 2. 243 AI-3300fps As you can see there is a big velocity difference between the two. The 243 AI will perform well in F-Class too. The 6x47 will perform well as a varminter, however, it lacks the punch of the 243 AI. Go with the 243 AI, I think you will be much happier with its performance at F-Class comps and long range Varminting. Good luck! Wildcat [/QUOTE]
