I currently have a 30-06, .243 and a 6.5X284 that I swap on that receiver without changing anything for feeding the different cases.

Your .243 would make a nice varmint gun. I have two .243's that I put 55gr Nosler BT through and they decimate prairie dogs out past 600m. But if you don't have any feed problems with the .243 then I would personally go with 22-250 or 22-250AI. I love my 22-250 for varmints.
