With those choices above, why not a 308?

Surprised Dumb Don hasn't shown up to tell you to sell it and get a Kimber or a Pre-64 M70, so you have that oh so important CRF for when you have to shoot that charging whitetail while on your back.....

Why not try a .243 A.I. I really enjoy mine, and it will kill what ever I chose to hunt. and does it with ease. Rio7

Considering you like the 223 for deer and you desire a big gun, I would consider the next step up, a 243 as your big gun.
Therefore I vote the 243. Of course you will need an 1/8 twist.
You can use the various 105gr slugs and slay deer at long range, with better ballistics than a .223 bullet.
And by chance if an elk accidentally crosses your path while deer hunting you can put the hurt on him with confidence!

You have answered hour own question. You have components, you are comfortable with it, your leaning that way. 243

After more thought, I'm going to say .338. Got to fit on a short action And its got to fit the parameters of the three choices given. I have this on-going communicative problem.....

I like anything that's based on the 308 case including the 308 but since it's not on the list and you have the equipment I'd go with the 243.

The 6.8 spc is cool...cause its metric, not 'metrosexual'....
