[QUOTE="Jcub, post: 874131, member: 70391"] I was pretty much in your boat 3 months ago. For me personally, the best choice was the .280 AI. I was enamored with the 7mm bullets' coefficients, that's why I chose what I did, great barrel life, uses high bc bullets, can still push a 168 gr at 2800 fps from a 24" bbl. I chose a #5 contour. I'm very pleased with my rifle, it shoots good groups and I can load it down to 120 gr bullet moving at 3350 fps. I've never run across someone who had anything bad to say about the .280 Ack. Take it for what it is, a great hunting rifle with just a little bit more oomph than it's original, good bbl life, but don't try to turn it into a STW, because it's not that fast but will definitely shoot to 1000 meters.
