I have a .223 A.I. for prarrie dogs. Would like to have a 6 mm also. I know that many prarrie dog shooters have said the .243 is too much recoil. I like the idea of everything being available, cases,etc. I like the idea of the 6 mm Benchrest as cases are available. If I were to go that route, Savage is about the only factory rifle available. Any other thoughts of opinions? Do not desire to go with another wild cat.
