[QUOTE="NDAR15MAN, post: 1902715, member: 31706"] Like I said in my earlier post. Just because you have (4 ) 243 cal guns in your safe that you hunt or target shoot with. Or you have one that you are going to re-barrel because it it is shot out and you can reload for ( what % of hunting or just recreation shooters are going to re-barrel any rifle ). Or your Dad gave one to you when you were 10 years old for your birthday to hunt with to shoot your 1st deer. Or a 243 cal that grandma bought him or her for a Xmas present from Walmart. Or the 243 you won at a ducks unlimited dinner. A consumer that actually buys a new 243 cal with HIS or HER hard earned money is a non-informed buyer that did not do their research on his $450.00 plus buying decision. 6.5 Creedmoor ammo is within $2.00 a box of the 243 if you look hard before virus. I think you can even buy soft recoil ammo for the 6.5 creedmoor now. The 243 is going away as soon as us old timers die off and the current guns barrels get shot out. The production numbers the last 5 years of the 243 are steadily going down. What makes people here think production numbers will go up , not going to happen. 700 max yards for hunting / target shooting or 1000 yards for hunting / target shooting. No brainer. Just my own opinion when you make the pro and con list on a sheet of paper. I own a 243 tikka that shoots 3/4 inch groups but my 6.5 creedmoor is such a better choice. MD [/QUOTE]
