yotehunter,
Good all around caliber choice for varmints. I would like to own one, myself...someday.
DPMS Panther LR, Olympic Arms GS243 and Armalite A4 243R make AR-10s in .243. So does Patriot Arms, but they're pricey...on the average another $800. :smiley_arrogant:
They're all in the $1000 to $1500 price range.
