[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1796062, member: 30902"] Congrats. Having spent most of my life hunting the west I'd have recommended going bigger but the .280 AI is a great starter. Once you get competent enough to be confindent in it you'll find yourself taking game with it at ranges you wouldn't have considered possible five years ago. Words of Advice. If you can afford to do so, attend one of the quality long range shooting/huting schools before heading west again. Don't get over confident shooting paper targets under ideal conditions. Go buy a .260 or 6.5CM or something similar so you can put hundreds of rounds down range in every circumstance and condition you can think of and make time for. Even the best school in the country can't give you the experience that you will have to rely on when that trophy of a lifetime is in your sights beyond 600yds. When that happens you want to be able to get down behind the gun with 100% conficence you can make that shot 10 out of 10 times. [/QUOTE]
