WWYD--APR 7-08, 6.5 Creed, .243..... - 02/14/17 08:16 PM
"What Would You Do"....Not sure why I am being indecisive on this but as a piggy back onto another thread I wanted to get some opinions from you guys. I currently have .308, 7-08, .243, and .223 bolt guns. I'm going to get a couple customs built by APR and will probably order them this week.
I'm trying to pick my first two calibers....out of 7-08, 6.5 CM, and .243 which two would you guys choose? I was leaning towards 7-08 and .243 but now thinking about 7-08 and 6.5 CM. Are those two too close in caliber size/ballistics to justify having both? I only shoot factory ammo, will probably get 16-18" barrels, only shoot suppressed, and will be for deer/hog hunting mostly. As a consideration I have a little boy who will be old enough to hunt in a few years and was thinking the .243 would be better for him but he could always use the 6.5. I'll be selling two of my current guns because I won't need duplicates.
Decisions, decisions.....would love your input. Thanks
