[QUOTE="Bullmark, post: 2229962, member: 113003"] The .280AI continues to be my all time favorite. It’s efficiency is often overlooked, but it is tough to beat. I know recoil is very dependent on the weight of the rifle, but apples to apples the ones I’ve owned have been much milder than the “charts” quote for recoil level. And I’ve owned a handful of them in various weights and configurations. Having confidence shooting a rifle comes through positive practice and use in the field....and heavy recoil has deterred many a man from sufficient practice and gaining real confidence behind their rifle. Lastly, you can find top shelf factory ammo, which hasn’t always been the case. I don’t reload and depend on a couple of friends and online services, but retail availability is a good thing. I guess if I could only choose one rifle in my safe, it would be the .280AI., and for the reasons i listed above. I have the highest level of confidence that I’ll make the shot when it counts. In the end, there are many choices that overlap, and distinguishing between them is splitting hairs. Whatever you build, make sure you enjoy shooting it and practice enough to take away any doubts when it comes down to one shot. [/QUOTE]
