[QUOTE="silverbullet555, post: 1979879, member: 113968"] I'm still trying to settle out a caliber for a new rifle. I was going back and forth between a 6.5PRC and 7mmRM. Then I heard more about the 280 ai. It'll be built on a Tikka action with a magnum bolt face because I have one. Plan is for a proof carbon wrapped barrel, a lightweight stock that fits me well and this rifle will be suppressed. The suppressor leads me to the question. I need a barrel length that is reasonable. Ideal would be 22" or shorter, but I'm not sure any of these are going to be that good with a short barrel. It'll be used on deer and elk, maybe antelope though I might stay with a 6.5CM on antelope. No, I'm not interested in other calibers/cartridges at the moment. Do either of these 3 shine with shorter barrels? [/QUOTE]
