[QUOTE="Raudy707, post: 1908117, member: 105681"] Another vote for the 270 WSM. I put a 1:8 twist on my Tikka when I rebarreled it and WOW is all I can say! With the 165's and 170's it has turned into a beast. I have a 280 AI, 300 WM and 6.5 PRC. The 300 sits in the safe, I gave the 6.5 to my son and I hunt everything with the 270 WSM or 280 AI. Such sweet shooters! I've shot both these rifles out to 1300 yds and they both perform very well. They are virtually twins. The 270 wsm is my back country mountain rifle and weighs 7.7 lbs fully locked and loaded. My 280 AI weighs 9.9 lbs and stays closer to the truck. These rifles do anything I ask of them from coyotes to elk. I don't shoot big game animals past 600 yds. Just my own self imposed maximum. Too many variables for me to gamble on an animals life, but the rifles aren't the unknowns. The rifles and the cartridges are always on point! [/QUOTE]
