[QUOTE="Greg Duerr, post: 810636, member: 32685"] Im looking at getting a new Rifle as right now I hunt with a .243 AI When hunting Black Bear I keep my fingers crossed when pulling the trigger .........and its easy to draw a cow elk tag in Nevada as well as my wifes family that want me to come up to Northern Idaho to hunt Deer and Elk with them. I like ordering the McMillan Gel Swirls stock as the last one was beautiful and gives your rifle a one of a kind look. I have considered the Cooper line of Rifles and have talked with Cooper and they are very customer savy. My dad gave me a Remington 700 years ago in a .280 and that meant a lot to me and would want to get that cartrige back, so im leaning towards the .280 Would love to hear back from anyone with a Smith recomendation and any sugjestiions on what parts barrels have worked best for you..................I know that I want a Jewell Trigger and want the barrel coated flat black What twist rate for shooting 140 to 168 gr bullets and barrel company as well as the lenght. I reallize that a lot of guys like the .280 Ackley but not sure the added 150 FPS is worth it .................speaking from NO experiance. In the past I have shot some Mule Deer and Antelope with the 7mm-08. Just looking for a great non magnum Rifle so when drawing down on a 600 lb Black Bear im not hesitating on the outcome of pulling the Trigger. Greg [/QUOTE]
