[QUOTE="Swiftkill, post: 2318834, member: 104167"] Can't go wrong with a 243. With 100 gr flat base bullets can kill anything that walks. 22" bbl. Put it in an AR type chasis, im pretty sure HOWA has them. I have 3 Howard 1500s and they are reliable tack drivers. Shed be able to use that gun forever. Thread it for a muzzle brake and you can use it for long range Varmints coyotes and Priddy doggies off a bench. I disagree with not having a brake. Its fun. You can see your shots. I have THREE 243s, A sporter and two heavy barrels, an older winchester.then I built a custom 243, I wanted a caliber for everything.so it wouldn't just sit in my safe. I put a heavy 3.5# bench stock on it for prairie dogs and can swap to a lightweight hogue pillar bedded stock for walking around hunting . I dont even get a shift in impact because the stocks are free floated.vof course I pre hunt check them anyway, I have to if I switch ammo. 58 gr vmax ammo is deadly accurate at 4000 fps from a 26" bbl. Should be around 3800 from a 22" bbl. Ill have to chronograph that. The 100 grain fiocchi ammo is spectacular in 3 different 243s a HOWA 22". Winchester 70 24" and Remington 700 26" [/QUOTE]
