IMHO a #1B in .243 is THE groundhog rifle to have.
Wouldnt mind an A for a light deer rifle.
But still think an A or RSI in a mild mannered thumper, like 35 rem.....to be the ideal timber whitetail rig..

I miss my old .243 B.
Smoked a lot of chucks. Shot great. Was one of my few rifle joys.

Might have to roll the dice on one, or have one built.
If my 280 doesn't shoot, proly rebarrel to .243.
