[QUOTE="trebark, post: 1175059, member: 19172"] Given the choice between the 280Rem and the 7mag, they are both good options and you don't go wrong with either one. Just need to match their capabilities with your needs. If you intend to shooting the rifle a lot, the 280 will have longer barrel life. The 280 will shoot the 168grain class bullets very well. If you intend to shoot big bullets like the 180grain or 195grain Bergers go with the 7mag. My typical formula for determining cartridge choice is: 1. determine intended use 2. determine bullet that will get it done 3. choose cartridge that will get chosen bullet moving at velocity required to engage (or kill) intended target at intended range.
