Either way, I'm very bias towards the 243, lower recoil, and wider ammo selection. But the 6.5 CM might future proof you for longer range shooting or hunting. I like Howa rifles a lot, and you won't...

It's definitely a No1 Mk3 rear sight that has been modified. What interests me is that the peep portion of this sight is made from the elevation slider and lock. Not only did the maker drill...

My 22 CM (made from a 1:9 Savage 223) is a laser with 75s at 3220 - that's a quite mild load, I'm sure someone will get a lot more ( but their barrel life will be very short!
