[QUOTE="Buckys, post: 2285217, member: 107750"] Given that the rifle is primarily for deer and it sounds like "maybe elk", I would choose the 280AI which is very, very good for deer and more than adequate for elk. You can reuse all of the components you have for the 280REM including the brass and your new rifle would easily match the capability of most 7mm rem mag *factory* ammo, albeit without the ability to stretch to what the 7mm rem mag is actually capable of. Nothing wrong with stepping up to a full 7mm magnum or 300 magnum ... but they are not as optimal for deer for many of the same reasons that have already been offered by others here. [/QUOTE]
