[QUOTE="26Reload, post: 1935804, member: 99519"] Both rifles are capable of what you're looking to do... I wouldn't hesitate to whack an elk with my 65284's...at 2950fps And wouldn't hesitate on an elk with my 280ai at that distance... All these guys tout the fps of "their rifles"...not yours...pushing their limits maybe,isn't in your rifle... My 280ai is a rechamber of an older mountain rifle...22" noodle barrel....shot 2630fps with 168lrab.... Anything faster ate up my hat brim.... First two shots touch at 100yd...next one is,always,close enough for a follow up if needed..... Pack whichever you want to shoot an elk with....wont matter... [/QUOTE]
