Which gun?
 
Which gun should i get?

Ive narrowed it down to a top three:

Browining A-bolt 308
Remington CDL 243
Remington CDL 7mm08

Im leaning toward the smaller calibers since I already have a couple of larger calibers.
What do yall think??

I love Browning rifles.
I would love to get a 7-08 to replace the one that I sold in a weak moment.
From your list I would pick the 7-08

7mm-08 is my vote :)

Depending on what you are doing, the CDL 7-08 is a good all around gun!

My vote would be for a Remington 700 in .308 with the 7mm-08 a close second.

I vastly prefer 700s over Browning.

Since you already have a few larger calibers I would suggest you go with the .243 or 7mm08 without knowing what you are looking to use it for.

If you already have a couple 30 cals then I want to revise my answer. I would go with the .243. It's an amazing round and quite possibly the flattest shooting cartridge in mainstream production. Plus it can do a ton of things well from varmints to deer.

I say go with a .243 in a Remington 700. You really can't beat a 700 action.

This is the way I would recommend as well. I might revise though... What "larger calibers" do you already own?

if you already have larger calibers and this is going to be a deer/coyote gun i would go with the 243

This gun will strictly be a deer gun. I already have a 30-06, 7 mag, and a 300 wsm.

Ive prety much ruled out the Browning after looking closely at the 700.
I would like to have a 308, but Remington dosent offer it in the CDL.

I want a gun with a flat trajectory, low recoil, and as much knock down power as possible. 7mm08 should pack a bigger punch than a 243, but how is the recoil on it?Yall think it will be a little too much for a youngin?
