You had me excited for a min. Thought I'd missed an option when I was looking at them. 1-10 is plenty for what I'm planning to do with the kids. If I need more horse power I'll rebarrel and run a bigger case. I'm kicking around having a 6 UM reamer run into a 243 Tikka barrel for myself.
Holy rip I bet that will fry a barrel in a hurry. I’ve been reading on rokslide alot and tikka and 1-8 is posted so much I thought it was 243 too lol
UM says they will convert the 243 factory barrel for me just not going to guarantee the accuracy. I totally understand that. I think the barrel will have much better life shooting hammers than the Nose Ring DTac bullets those guys are running.
At risk of sounding ignorant what is the 6 UM?
Ultra mag I hope
It's a Saum improved case at 6mm
Case size and/or capacity, how does it compare to 6.5prc case?
They have quite a lot of info about it on Rokslide. Ryan one of the owners
My wheels are turning along the lines of how to make my 243 better, or maybe restock it for my wife and eventually daughters to use, and build me a bigger better one, a one rifle for everything situation, if I need a gun to smash stuff in thick bush or close range there’s always the 30-30 or 12ga slugsC22
If you're going to only Chase varmints the 22 Creedmoor will do everything you want to do and a whole lot cheaper.

If you don't want to go full send with the 243 and turn it into a 6 UM then think about a 243 AI. You use the same brass and basically fire form it as you shoot it. Supposed to add a little more poop to the 243 win.
I was digging around looking at Tikka web page today and found something interesting.
Nice! One of my local gun shops had a tikka t3x stainless 243 listed as 1-8” I assumed it was a typo but maybe not. Nice to see at least one is for sure!
