telling you get either a .223 aclly, .204 ruger, .220 swift, .17 rem. The best one is the aclly if you are going to use it for an all around gun. But seriously the .223 is one of the best guns made for varmints. But if you like the .243 do whatever you want its your hunting not mine.

I don't think you have a .223 AI, it's spelled ACKLEY.

I loved my 243, passed it on to my little brother. 90 to 100 grain for deer 55 to 80 grain for varmints. The savage is a nice rifle but that scope may not be worth much.

My research is stearing me towards the .243 for all round small caliber preditor/varmint gun.
Any arguments?
I don't roll my own. In a gunI'm looking for lighter recoil so I will shoot more often, a caliber which is legal to take (small) big game (.23 minimum in Wyoming), with ample variety of inexpensive ammo readily available.

Whaddayathink?
I have built a Mauser Mark X in 243 caliber, in gunsmithing school.
From the Receiver up.

For the same reasons that every one else stated.
plus I built it for my two sons one is 14 and the other is 15 years old, to shoot.

I am makeing a stock for it from English Walnut. ( From a blank peace of wood. )
It will be finished around Dec 10, 2007
I can't waite to shoot it.

In Wyoming, "Wyoming statutes authorize the use of a firearm which has a barrel bore diameter of at least twenty-three-hundredths (23/100) of an inch and is chambered to fire a center-fire cartridge not less than two (2) inches in overall length, including a soft or expanding point bullet seated to a normal depth."

I would think ANYONE that had one would know how to spell it correctly. No reason to send a pic.
