[QUOTE="bonefisher, post: 290704, member: 18500"] I have shipped my 270 win. to gunsmith as basically a donor 700 action. Now planning to do 280 AI. Considered 2 guns for deer to replace 270, 25-06 and 7RM. This years household economics make one gun a much better idea. Also considered the 6.5-06. I am no expert. Did not find great deal of online ballistics for the 6.5 or the 280 AI. Have to commit to the chambering pretty soon. Obviously could buy a magnum donor action and go with the 7RM. Understand the factory vs. handload issue between the 7rm and the 280AI. Any reason this will not be a better replacement for my 270 Win. and a good whitetail/ mule deer gun? I would love to have more centerfire rifles in the future, but now need a deer gun. My current rifle battery consists of a 17HMR and a deer rifle. Elk and moose are not in the near future. Have over thought this process. I am sure the deer will not like whatever hits them. Thanks [/QUOTE]
