[QUOTE="Jcub, post: 879720, member: 70391"] You were doing great until you mentioned the bbl harmonics. All else being equal, the shorter bbl with have better harmonics, I.E. Less bbl whip. I have a .280 AI with a 24" bbl and I have never regretted my decision. The reason I chose a .280 AI is for the superior ballistics the 7mm bullets have at the moment. Those ballistics will help counteract the loss in fps, again the reason I went with a shorter bbl. I promise you, the animal is not going to know the difference between 3,000 and 2,900. Remember, elk do not have body armor. This rifle will do everything you want. Good marksmanship, not cartridge selection kills animals. The U.S. Military figured this out when they decided to go with a .308 and not a magnum. I realize they are in the testing phases of using a .300 winmag, but chances are we'll stick with the 7.62x51.
