[QUOTE="ol mike, post: 395229, member: 4683"] Troutslayer2 , First off welcome to LRH -sorry had to do it. I have a 280AI it's set up a little heavier than a sporterweight. I can't think of anything that would be better than the 280ai -maybe a 7saum ? -it's all in what you want. A 24" number 2 barrel in a lightweight stock will have a bit of recoil although not like a 300 winmag with a 180-200gr bullet. A 1-9" twist will shoot bullets up to 180gr ,that's what i have and what most people will recommend for a longrange set-up. I am happy with the nosler 280ai brass -just load them up and go shoot ,although you can fireform brass from 270/280 cases. Good luck should make a great rifle with the 280ai cartridge. Mike And yes on the action -long action .473 bolt face -25-06 -270 -280 -30-06 will work perfect. [/QUOTE]
