[QUOTE="DRock, post: 1676329, member: 109187"] I don't know how you could go wrong with a 270 Win or 280AI. I have a Cooper Excaliber in both 270 and 280AI and also a Cooper Backcountry in 280AI. Very accurate, sturdy rifles. The Excaliber is ~7lbs without a scope and the BackCountry is ~6lbs without a scope. I do not love the single stack magazines for the Cooper and had a feeding issue with polymer tipped bullets getting hung up when cycling the bolt quickly. I have switched over to Fierce rifles and really love my CT Edge with the carbon wrapped barrel. This gun weighs in under 6lbs without a scope and I love the Fierce staggered round magazine and the box has lots of room to seat bullets out longer if you handload. [/QUOTE]
