[QUOTE="GOCougs3006, post: 822151, member: 39565"] Haha. Yeah I was just reading over all of the new posts after being gone for awhile and was wondering how the discussion turned to 40 cal and larger rifles and shooting hogs. Haha... but its all good and has been a great discussion. I think I have come to a decision. I was looking at load data yesterday and bullet options and comparing lots of different rounds. I think I am going to go with a basic .243. I would love to go with a 6.5x284, or 6.5 Creedmor but in the end I just don't have the funds right now to build a rifle so I am limited to factory offerings and I really am a huge fan of the Weatherby Vanguards for the value they present. So as of now I'm going to start looking for a Vanguard S2 in .243. After all my research I think this will fit my needs/wants the best. And I have a factory S2 stock laying around at home that I took off of a .300WM last year, so I will be able to get/make her a stock that fits her good and then switch stocks if I want a longer LOP and take it coyote hunting. Thanks again for all of the input it really helped narrow it down for me. And this still leaves a nice gap between the .243 and my .30-06 for a 6.5 caliber in the future. [/QUOTE]
