I picked up the 243 for a screaming deal recently, because I love the LWH, and I am not opposed to the 243... but, I now want to make it into a 6.5, 260, 7-08 or even 308. I'm most interested in finding a take off or picking up a factory barrel... trying to save $$. I'd consider an aftermarket barrel if it wasn't gonna be several hundred dollars.

Anyone have advice for best way to find a takeoff in any of these calibera? If I did order a custom barrel, what is this contour called??

thanks for any advice!
