[QUOTE="Bullmark, post: 2286616, member: 113003"] Hands down my fav all around caliber is the 280ai. I don’t know of a more efficient option, that will take down bigger animals, has less felt recoil, and offers factory ammo. Right on the heels of the 7rem mag that you like, without the recoil or other issues of a belted magnum. My guess is there’s a reason the ammo makers decided to mass produce a wildcat cartridge that was once only available as a hand load. If I could only have one rifle, and thank the good Lord and the Constitution that’s not the case, it would have to be my .280ai. One last plug.....in general guys don’t shoot well with rifles that make them flinch. I know I don’t. I practice quite a bit but am by no means a high volume shooter. The lack of recoil allows me to be comfortable, which helps my accuracy and confidence. It’s one thing if you’re shooting everything at 75yds.....but every move and mistake is magnified once you get out to 200yds, which is still a short range shot to many guys. Good luck and get yourself a rifle that you enjoy shooting and you’ll shoot it more, and become a better shot. [/QUOTE]
