[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Another caliber advice Q

I am looking to get a Rem. 700 SPS. This rifle feels the best to me out of all the others I have tried, plus it's in my price range. I want a caliber that will fly fairly flat for a long range. I have been thinking about the .25'06 or a .300 WSM. Recoil is not a factor. The most I would be using it for would just be for fun or the most dangerous game MS has to offer (deer). Any thoughts?

.243 Good for deer with a heavier bullet, and varmints (55 gr hp at 4000 fps) Flat shooting and very accurate.

I second .243, I've used it to down many a deer with only one shot. I use 100 grain Remington Core Lokts. And as also mentioned before, it's very very accurate.
