[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1172475, member: 12995"] Shoot the 7mmRM for a lighter hunting deer rifle, then pull the barrel and blueprint the .270, and put an aftermarket 26" barrel chambered in .280 AI. Stocky's has Proof Research 416R SS .284 9" twist blanks on sale for $299. [U][URL]https://www.stockysstocks.com/barrels/centerfire/proof-research-cut-rifle-barrels.html[/URL][/U] This is the route I'd go, then have the smith chamber it for the SAAMI/Nosler spec .280 AI. and top it off with a EGW HD rail, some TPS TSR aluminum rings, and a Vortex Viper HS-T on top. That would be a nice rifle on a budget. If you do that, you'd only have to buy 1 caliber of bullet. And Nosler sells new .280 AI brass. [/QUOTE]
