I have an early 700 chambered to .243AI and love it. Another suggestion would be to go to a 6MM Remington.

I have no idea, that's why I'm asking
Maybe write every standard bolt face short action cartridge on a piece of paper, tape it to the wall, take ten steps back, and throw a dart at the piece of paper. Whatever the dart lands on is your winner.
I suppose if you really wanted to expand your options you could also include all the WSM and SAUM cartridges to your dart board since a Rem 700 can so easily have the bolt face opened up.
Let us know what you land on.

243 Improved, 6-250, 6-250 Improved, 260, 260 Improved, 6.5x55, 7-08, 7-08 Improved. Short action with medium bolt face, the choices are endless. In today's world, it would be something I could get brass, dies, bullets and powder for. No one wants a new gun they can't shoot.

I would tender the idea of .243A.I. AFTER the my present .243 barrel
wears out. It would be pretty simple and cost effective since the rifle
is a Sav 12 VLP...only other thing needed would be dies, and I have
plenty brass. However, after just getting the Tikka .243, that may not
be a good choice. Otherwise, I like the dart board idea.

Do you want mainsteam? Or are you like us guys that like oddball stuff nobody really uses. I would probably build a .22 Creedmoor twisted for heavy 90 gr bullets

This ^^^^^

I guess you need to figure out what you will use it for.
Want to be able to shoot factory stuff but want the advantages of an improved case. Then the 22-250AI or 243AI would make a lot of sense fireform with factory ammo and reload with the improved brass. Looking bigger 7-03 up to 358 Win would be options.

This is saying something. Either you don't think you ever needed it, or your missing out on LIFE! lol.
I started out with lite weight bullets in a 243 , then added a 223 later down the road. So no, just really never needed one.
That was many many years ago.. Been plenty of "need" rifles since and probably still...
