Thanks. I have pretty well decided on the .243. But I would really like a Lever action, .... just because. The one that I am looking at is the Browning BLR. But good luck finding one. I was in 2 Cabela's and 2 other gun shops, they have sold so many guns that the picking is pretty slim.
Have you tried the online gun library? I have never checked into it, so I have no idea how up to date they keep it. As of right now they have 2 .243 BLR's listed.
