[QUOTE="mcseal2, post: 409750, member: 22030"] I've shot both alot and would advise to honestly ask yourself how much you will shoot the rifle and how much recoil you can handle. I got myself started flinching shooting my 300 3-4 days a week preparing for hunting season. My shoulder got bruised and it hurt my accuracy. If you choose a 280 I'd recommend at least a 24" barrel to keep velocity up, my 280 with a 22" barrel won't get much over 2800fps with a 140gr bullet. It depends on your tolerance and what size animal you want to kill at the extended ranges you mentioned. [/QUOTE]
