For what it's worth,(and that isn't much) my suggestion is the 7mm-08. Not much you can't do with one.
If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.

Simply because of this: "will be used for larger deer sized critters."

.260, Lapua Brass, and 123 grain Scenars for the win!
No walnut. It's time you went modern.

GeoW,
".243 for logistical reasons."

Just go ahead with the .243.
I am sure there will be future itches to scratch that can fill what ever voids the .243 leaves behind. Not that I would expect such.
If I dwell on something tooooo long, it loses its glitter.

The 7 08 is a big rifle! Modern equivalent to 7X57. Known slayer of elephants, unless you are trying to fit in to the Kool crowd, then a 260. 243 is only good for women and kids.

My little gun is a 223, my BIG gun is a 243, guess it is not hard to figure out which way I lean. And yes, it will kill an elk. ![[Linked Image]](http://i865.photobucket.com/albums/ab220/iamdrover/mod70flview2.jpg) drover
223 Rem, my favorite cartridge - you can't argue with truckloads of dead PD's and gophers.

Time to get out of your comfort zone and do a .260. You can always do a 7-08 next week, and another .243 the week after that, and by that time another stock will come available in the classifieds and you can come back and request stupid answers to your questions again... Isn't that what you were really after anyway? Bob

You see guys...I made the mistake of accumulating three scopes, with no guns under them. Then to compound the felony, I just bought a stock..simply because it was a good price...... Since you have 3 scopes and 3 cartridge possibilities, the answer is obvious - you need 2 more stocks...... Here to help

If you're set on changing the tube, .26-08.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
