I didn't mean I wanted one gun to do it all, because well, where is the fun in just one gun? I just said the different things that I would like to shoot and then see what you guys had to say for a caliber. Do you guys really think the .243 is worth the extra money over the .223? I am kind of set on a Howa. I have read quite a bit on they say they are pretty good guns for the money.
