I have 2 and I love them both for the same reasons you mentioned.
The first is a Remington R25 243 (AR10 platform) and it serves as one of my favorite predator rifles. Being a 243 makes for a great deer rifle too.
I also have a Tikka lite hunter in 243. Very accurate for a factory rifle. Sub 1" groups with Nosler Trophy Grade Accubond 100 gr.
