I had a Remington 700 VS in 6mm Remington that was a good varmint rifle but sold it when I moved to Utah as I wasn't doing much varmint hunting. Last year I purchased another 700 in 308 but I am not enjoying the recoil when shooting from the bench. This one is a lighter setup so it is probably more perceived than anything.
Now I am thinking that I want to build something that would be the best for all worlds. Tactical, Long Range, and Varmint. The 243 seems like a good caliber for this if setup correctly but while doing some research I stumbled on the 6mm Super LR. This cartridge is based on a 243 but with a sharper shoulder and a longer neck, allowing for more variation in seating depth but without the barrel burning that the 243 is known for.
This would seem like the route I should go but before I do, what do you guys think?
