It's worth the barrels to many.

Serbu 50 will take care of all those distances, Randy.

Hmmm. Looks like the .243 is in between the .223 and .308, my other Remington 700 calibers. That and Dick's sells a .243 Remington 700 in the same Mossy Oak Brush Varmint model. And Chunky, I want something left to photograph after I hit one, not just blood splatter on the ground!

Lol, you are going to have a whole family of mossy oak Rem 700's (nothing wrong with that btw).

220 Swift was my caliber for varmint hunting and very fun caliber to reload for. 4000+ fps for factory 40gr loads are available and folks that have hit over 4700 fps with their custom reloads. High quality barrel, slow rate of fire and good maintenance are key to long barrel life. Even with these factors, typical barrel life is inside of 2000 rounds. Impressive results shooting Barnes 36 gr varmint grenades at 4200 fps.

.243 is a very nice round, but so is .260! Just a barrel change for either.

But honestly you just want more new toys, not a better p-dog round

Maybe you will get into LR after all...

243. You can get the same velocities as. 22-250 with a bigger/heavier projectile. You can also hunt big game with it.

Are you sure? Is it 23 or 25 cal minimum?

That would fit in quite nicely with the rest of my ammo.
