[QUOTE="ofbandg, post: 1642998, member: 91402"] I have had a number of AI's over the years and all were a matter of trying to get more from an existing rifle. I had an 8x57 Mauser that became an 8-06 AI, a 280 that became a 7-06 AI, and a 308 that became a 30-06 AI. I still have the '06 AI because it truly is an improvement, but the others were less so although I hunted successfully with them for years. The 280 AI gave me approx. 70 fps increase over the original, the 8-06 AI about a 100 fps over the 8x57, and the '06 AI gives me about 150 fps but some of that has to do with superformance powder coming out. Generally speaking, I wouldn't do any of them again. [/QUOTE]
