[QUOTE="Miller27, post: 2383188, member: 120484"] My recommendation would be either a 280AI in whatever rifle you’d like inside your budget as. Or preferred option would be an M700 pattern rifle like the Bergara B14 hunter in 7 Rem Mag. Lots of factory options, but specifically for the reloading advantage. If you get the chamber throated to accept a 3.5”-3.6” coal then you can push a 175gr bullet upwards of 3100-3200 fps without upping pressure. That will give you back the advantages the 7 Rem Mag should always of had from the beginning. My personal rifle is a 7 Mag setup that way and I’m running 168 Barnes LRXs at 3100 with a coal of 3.5” and a 26” barrel. For reference the Barnes load data states a coal of 3.34ish and velocity of 2850 max, which a 280Ai will do all day, so if you want to get all the performance in a 7mm, go with a long throated Rem mag. Otherwise I think the 280Ai would likely be your best all around rifle. Extra options, a 300 or 338 win setup the same 3.6” coal as the 7 Rem mag option I stated above would also be a viable choices as well. [/QUOTE]
