I have to buck everybody else's choice and say stay with the 243. Nothing wrong with the 25-06 or the 270 just don't see where you would need any more than what you have unless you just want to spend the money like i'm about to. If you wanted to move to something bigger like elk or moose i'd go to at least a 30-06. If you can afford it the I would buy all of them.

I saw a 243wssm at wal-mart which I'm going to buy as soon as the babysitter gets back fron taking the kids to school. I have absolutly no NEED for it, just want to have it. I personnaly want one of all of em
