Hello all,
I have a Tikka T3 chambered in 270 Win that I want to rebarrel and build a rifle suitable for sheep hunting. The caliber has to be something wildly available (no wildcats), I fancy 280AI and 6.5mm-284 but I do prefer 280AI because I can easily shoot the 155gr Hammer. I want a 22in carbon barrel with a muzzle brake. I don't chase velocity but I do like to get around 3000 fps so I don't have to worry much about bullet drop. If you have a similar build please share details, also being a Tikka I worry about the short clip.
I need your thoughts and input please.
