    If at all possible keep the 75 / .308 combination.......(great gun why mess with something that good).... and buy a 6.5 creedmoor to add to the gun safe.

    2 is better than 1. Keep the sako as is and buy yourself a new toy

    Its not cheap doing a rebarreling, the yanks do them for fun but its a lot cheaper over there.

    took your advice
    bought the 6.5 absolutely love it
    will probably sell the 243 and buy a 204

    Yep the 6.5 / .243 swap out makes more sense.... keeping the .30 cal and adding a speed pony.

    Best of luck with the 6.5.

    I don't have any experience with the .204 so I can't help you

    But I did do a good bit of research on the Ruger M77 Hawkeeye when I was searching for a 270/30-06, I was impressed enough to inquire after one that I was unfortunately piped at the post by another lad here.
