You know, if you just want to be a bit different you could go the .243 AI route. Last year when I decided to make me an "out chonder" rifle I did bit of research and that is what I decided on. Easily capable of making a 1000 yard (if you are!) kill but not punishing recoil and with a good brake on it allows you to see your hits and (ahem!) misses to allow you to correct for them. Because the guy did the chambering for me spoke so very highly of them I bought an X-caliber 28" barrel for it. Just a few days ago I took it out and after a couple of fouling shots shot three 1/4" three shot groups with it at 100 yards using the inexpensive 80 grain Sierra Blitz and RL 19. Good enough for 95% of my shooting and it sure is fun when they all go in the same basic hole.
Just something to think about.
