    Have you considered using the .243 with a 55gr bullet for foxing, about 3800FPS, like a laser. No more expensive than .204 bullets.

    All the usual brands, Remington, CZ, Howa, Sako etc but it's hard to go wrong with a Tikka varmint/supervarmint. Plenty of aftermarket parts available nowadays too to style up.
    Only issue is you might have to get a faster twist barrel if you must shoot 40gr bullets.

    Know of a well sorted 204 howa in a grs stock that he may part with. Less than 100 rounds down through it as he felt more home with the 243.
