[QUOTE="Westernhuntr, post: 1893093, member: 112648"] I don't necessarily look at caliber for two similar hunting rifles, I look at the physical specs. I run a 6.5 saum that weighs 5.9 lbs for when I'm covering 5-10 miles a day in the toughest NW mountains, or when I'm hunting mostly timber. For truly open county long range elk hunting I pack a 10 lb (scoped) .30 cal for shots past 800 yards. One has a lighter more compact scope, the other wears an AMG. You might set yours up similarly, lighten up that 6.5, and seriously dial in that 280 [/QUOTE]
