I want to put together a 7 to 8 pound all up sporter in one of these 2 calibers. They seem like good choices for mid to long range work without thumping the shoulder or eating a bunch of powder.

I want a gun for banging steel and rocks out to 1000 yards and for predators and deer out to 500. It may be in my hands when a bear presents itself once every few years too.

The 243 ackley appears to edge out the Creed in drop and drift but the idea of better hunting bullets is a feather in the Creed's cap.

Lets hear your thoughts on the pros and cons of each

Thanks
