Have you tried a .243 WSSM yet? Tad more kick than a normal .243 but it packs some serious knockdown. I have the A-Bolt varmint stalker with a bull barrel. With a Leupold Vx-L scope I can shoot 600yds easy. Overall its a fun to shoot rifle. Especially when i do not have a sore shoulder after shooting.
