Have any of you AR-10 owners ever had a .243 Win upper? What are your thoughts? I want a longer distance (200 to 600yrd) low recoil auto loading target gun. I'm toying with the idea of getting one and I already reload .243. I like the concept, but the platform is a little heavy for shooting positions.
The other option is just buy an AR-15. It'd be a little more expensive upfront, but cheaper to reload. My only reservation is that I never found 5.56/.223 that thrilling to shoot (I reload it for my dad's 556 Sig) and the reason I got the AR-10 to begin with. If I ever got into competition shooting, that perception might change...but I don't right now.
