[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 491404, member: 2736"] Look at the 280 or the 280 AI. It is close to the 7mm Rem Mag and more than capable of taking a Sambar size animal at great distance. It is a natural for the 3006 size barrel and is a great long range cartridge with lots of different bullets in.284. No real changes will have to be made except the spacer will have to be removed and the center feed box may need to be tuned(Probably not). Recoil is light and in a light barrel I will not be a problem. Lots of 280 brass and ammo is available and fire forming is just a matter of shooting 280 ammo (If head spaced with a 280 go gauge) and accuracy is great while fire forming, so there is no need to load fire forming loads. All of the AIs I have are set up with the parent case head space gauge and will shoot under 1/2 MOA with standard loads. Just my recommendation. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
