Default Decisions Decisions - Advice on a Varmit/Range Gun

Sold a couple I didn't use and now I'm trying to replace a void. I have a gap in my gun safe between my .17HMR and a my 30.06.

I had planned on a 22-250 varmit/Range gun, but as there is no praire dog fields on the east coast just don't know how much I would use a 10lb+ gun in the field. I'm about to change my mind now and go with an ultra light .243 instead so I can have a long range range gun + a varmit gun with 55g loads.

Gun has to be stainless and preferably not a cheap plastic stock.

Some of the choices I had narrowed it down to are:

Remington 700 VLSS - 22.250
Savage 12 BTCSS - 22.250
or
Weatherby Mark V Ultra Lightweight - .243
Browning A Bolt TI - .243

Probably would be a Varmit (Coyote/Fox) and a Long Distance 200-300 yard range gun.

I just can't decide....any advice?
