AR 10 in .243?? Who manufactures them?

[tarkio]

I am decided my next purchase will be an AR 10 chambered in .243.

Who manufactures these? I know DPMS, not interested. Armalite makes them and that is what I'm looking at but there must be other manufacturers, right?

Any personal experience with these and suggestions as to where a guy can get a good buy.

Thanks in advance.

Pretty sure Remington has it chambered in .243.
Otherwise, just build one with a Lilja barrel...

Had one, loved it. Took a ton of antelope and a bunch of deer with it. Never a glitch and very accurate. Got in a bind and had to sell a rifle. Only 2 reasons this was the one I sold.....1), it held it's value very well. I used it for 6 years and got more than I paid for it, and I bought it new. 2), for all the good things I loved about this rifle, it was freakin HEAVY for a hunting 243.
