[QUOTE="Frog4aday, post: 1648692, member: 9308"] I vote [B].280 AI[/B], also. Fits what you already have and it allows you to use factory .280 Rem ammo (formerly called 7mm Express) but once the case has been fire formed to .280 AI specs, you can run it faster with long, heavy bullets for those 1000 yard shots. Get a barrel twist to suit the longest, heaviest bullet you plan to use. Second vote would go to the [B]6.5-06[/B] since the 6.5s are all the rage these days. Lots of good bullet choices and less recoil than the other options you listed. For a long range, target rifle, less recoil is a plus. Same advice on barrel twist (pick your favorite long range bullet and get a twist to stabilize it at distance.) [/QUOTE]
