Bound's hubby here:

I think your selection of a Remington 700 is a good choice. Prices vary, ranging from $659 to $859, depending on which model you select (I have included the Remington link, which includes MSRP pricing).

A bit above, someone mentioned something about the ."243, go with the 6mm Remington, and that you could also shoot the .243 in it". If that is what they said, it is wrong and dangerous. The cartridge case dimensions for the 6mm Remington and the .243 Winchester are very different!

A quick (perhaps unwanted history) on the 6mms:

The .244 Remington was made with a 1x12" twist, and fired bullets up to 100 grains. Heavier than 100 grain bullets would not stabilize with the 1x12" twist.

Winchester introduced the .243 Winchester to compete with the .244 Remington. The .243 was designed to be fired in rifles with 1x10" twist, which would stabilize bullets a little hevier than 100 grains ... up to I believe 120 grains.

Remington saw the writing on the wall, and up-graded the .244 Remington and introduced it as a new cartridge, the 6mm Remington. The 6mm Remington was designed to be fired out of rifles with a 1x9" twist, which can stablilize slightly heavier bullets than the 120 grain ... The 6mm Remington had a slight advantage, in that its case dimensions were identical to the older .244 Remington, and these two cartridges are interchangeable! But neither are interchangeable with the .243 Winchester!

Which you go with depends entirely upon your needs and preferences. Both the 6mm Remington and the .243 Winchester are supposed to be lighter recoiling cartridges (lighter, relative to the .308 Winchester or the .30-06 Springfield)!

Good luck!

It used to be if you want to change the caliber in the Remington 700 series all you would have to do is change the barrel the price of the barrel depended on the caliber you want and the finish the price was around $100-$300.

I agree with steve s, you should consider the 6mm. I have one (Remington model 700) I only paid $429.00 for mine at Scheels
without a scope of course.
The 6mm will shoot .243 ammo but the .243 will not shoot 6mm ammo, .244 is almost exactly the same as 6mm,
ammo for the .244 and 6mm can be shot from either rifle.
I used .244 brass to reload for my 6mm.
