Hey guys,
So here's the deal. I'm looking for a new .243 and want to spend around $1,000 or less on the rifle WITHOUT glass. I was set on a .223 as this was going to be primarily be a coyote rifle but recently I've been leaning towards a .243 just in case I want to use it for the occasional deer hunt. I've been searching pretty much every major manufacturer and have been having some trouble finding .243s.
I want a heavy (and QUALITY) barrel on this rifle without having to do a custom build. Remington has various different models but the number configured in .243 are limited. I also checked out Kimber, Sako, and Weatherby but couldn't find anything that really fit my search criteria. I guess my question to you guys, knowing your experiences with this caliber and the different rifles, what would your recommendation be if you were in my position? Thanks in advance for your suggestions!
