Welcome to LRH and enjoy!

The .300 WM is my go to chambering from antelope to elk size game up to 1K yards. Load it with 210/215 Berger and you're golden.

Cheers!

great! do you reload? were you thinking about a savage or Remington??

6.5 Creedmoor is a great choice of caliber if the gun your looking at isn't chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor but is chambered for 7mm-08 that would be a great choice also.

Welcome and what Feenix advised.

If the 243 shoots well, put a good long range scope of your choice on it. Shoot it until the barrel is worn out. By then you will have a lot better idea of what you really want.
