.204Ruger or .223Rem.....about the .243WSW ?
Your .243Win idea will take varmits and deer,all with the right
ammo selection.IMHO,I would go with 700Rem,Ruger M77 or Savage 110
but you are set on the Browning and can afford it, do it.

I like the .243 also. Good cal with the right bullet. Savage model 12bvss with the accu-trigger, nice gun for the money.

If you are goin for strictly varmints then the .223 WSSM would be the one to get.

While the .223 WSSM is a smoker, I'd take the .220 Swift over it anyday

243WSSM sounds good! Ive been getting good results with my 204 Ruger lately and my 223 Rem does alright. But I think id take the 223 over the 204. But anyway a 243WSSM would be good for varmints and even deer.
