[QUOTE="Chopperguy, post: 1377249, member: 48608"] I was in the same boat recently. Been a big 6.5 & 30 cal fan for years. Wanted something new so talked to a bunch of folks and narrowed it down to the 280AI. Had never been much of a fan of the 7s before this. Ended up with a Proof rifle in 280AI twisted 1:8.44. Good for anything I wanted or needed. Was really hoping the 175s would work in it. Found out it really loved the 162ELDX. Could get it to respectable speeds with accuracy that is averaging .2” when I do my part. I’ve taken this rifle to the range and trued my data to 1060 on a flat range off the bench and to 1630on a hunter style course using improvised shooting positions. I’m very impressed with its performance. So far it’s taken a giant feral hog and a pronghorn (at 480). Looking forward to more range and field work with it. Good luck and enjoy the journey! [/QUOTE]
