Default 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

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?
