You have a .243Win. so that'll eliminate the need for one of the faster and longer range .22 centerfires. Normally I might suggest a .17Remington, but I won't due to the heartaches I've had with mine in terms of consistency. At the risk of sounding like yesterdays shooter I'd recommend a .222Remington. It's marvelously accurate, won't wake the dead, and is farmer friendly.
Most of the areas I hunt for woodchuck are much smaller today than in the past. Noise is a factor. If farmer Brown has his stock in the fields he's not apt to appreciate your wanting to hunt his property with a loudenboomer rifle. Just one mans opinion. Best wishes.
