[QUOTE="trebark, post: 401285, member: 19172"] 243win, 260rem and 308win...all great cartridges and all readily available in factory ammo. All will kill varmints for as far as you can see and all will kill deer if you decide to 'graduate' from varmints. It sounds as though you're on a bit of a budget for this project (aren't we all on some kind of a budget??). My suggestion would be to get your hands on a mid-level Remington or Savage. Personally, I lean more towards the Remingtons. With either the Remington or Savage, any gunsmith will work on the rifle and both have good accuracy out of the box and both have excellent accuracy potential with some gunsmith work. Here are my suggestions as to what you might do with your rifle as you go forward....
