Very nice! Three of my favorite rifles chambered for one of my favorite cartridges.

The 6mm Remington is a better ctg., but you can't get it in as many rifles, and ammo is harder to find. For practical purposes, the .243 is a fine compromise deer-varmint load.
I think it's especially well suited for small deer and coyotes, bobcats, and similar varmints.

Looks like the answer is 3 nice rifles. I like that kind of math.

Agreed on both counts. Never owned or shot a 6mm, but a Remington 700 in .243 served me very well on lots of groundhogs and a nice whitetail buck,

I don't hunt, so the .243 suits my recoil sensitive shoulder just fine.
If I wanted an all around hunting cartridge I would likely go with the 7x57 Mauser, as it is intermediate between the .243 and the more powerful .270/.308/.30-06

My favorite is my little Remington model 600 in .243. Fine shooting little rifle with no recoil short enough to carry through the brush.
Still haven't invested in a can of stain for those prop sticks

I've always liked the Runger No. 1!
