So, I'm basically trying to talk myself out of this rifle. I was at a local shop and saw one on the rack. The tag said .243, but when they handed it to me it was a 243 WSSM. I'd have already bought it if it was a .243 Win, but I really don't know what I'd do with a WSSM. I feel like brass is going to be hard to find and expensive, and I'm just not sure that I'd shoot it that often. Do they perform a lot better than the .243 Win? How is the barrel life?
They told me they'd take $275 OTD with a Simmons scope on top which seems like a steal for a Model 70, but I'm just not sure if I really want one in this caliber. What do you guys that have them think? I also really want a Savage just for ease of barrel swapping, so I'm not sure if I should hold out for one of those or not.
