Recommendations for an SBR bolt action rifle

[JRT]

I want to build an SBR bolt action rifle on a skeletonize chassis with a side folder. The obvious choice would be 300 Blackout but I have that covered with my Honey Badger and I have an order in for the Mini-Fix. So I have 300BLK and 8.6 Creedmoor covered. I would like it to be a 30 caliber or under since I want to shoot it suppressed and I don't want to buy a Hybrid can or some other shit before the 8.6 cans are available. Ideally the barrel length would be between 8 and 12 inches. I'm not looking to reach 1000 so ballistics are not important beyond the right twist rate. I will use this to put holes in stuff around the farm out to 300 yards. Whats a fun caliber? Maybe 243?

I'd look at some offerings from JD Jones of SSK Industries. Hes got so many different unique options it'll make your head spin.

You might want to build one on a Savage action with "Accutrigger". We have one in .308 and one in .223, both with 22" barrels. My daughter's .22 is a 16.5" Savage heavy barrel, the same model used by famous alligator hunter Troy Landry. All are inexpensive, well-made, and extremely accurate. That BATFE tax stamp is $200 each, so these rifles are a real bargain for your total platform.
