Alright well obviously the general consensus here is the .243. I am going to Bass Pro, maybe Cabelas, or Sportsmans to see what they have for .243's. I know BPS has no Savage 11's at all in the .243 and I am sure they are probably all sold out at Cabelas and Sportsmans too, but I will check. Is there another rifle out there that would be good in .243 besides the Savage 11?
I'm personally not aware of a significantly better rifle for a .243 in that price range without taking the time (and risk) to go used. (If I had the budget then I'd go with a CZ 550 American, but that will cost nearly double.) But I'm skipping the point of my response.
Whatever you get, you will want to consider the price of a scope in your overall decision.
