Been thinking about a 280AI for some time. Right now I have a 308, 270, 300WM, and building a new 308. Also have a couple "evil black guns" in 556/223. My 300WM is a heavy rifle around 13-14 pounds with scope so it is more of a target gun. My 270 has been my mountain rifle and have Lane Precision building a 308 that I plan on using for backpacking trip.
question is.....what does the 280AI give me the 270 or 308 cannot? Looking for deer and elk rifle. Since I do not reload is a 280AI pointless for me? I know a properly placed bullet from 270 or 308 will take an elk so am I just wasting money on a 280ai with the other rifles I have? Wondering if I should just spend the money and upgrade the optics I have on the other rifles that I own (mostly Leupold VX3 or Bushnell elite up to 12 or 15X power).
just asking for thoughts and "what would you do" in my shoes.
