[QUOTE="brinky, post: 1454771, member: 41373"] Jrkotz: I have been a 280 and 280AI fan for a long while now. My dad bought one of the first run Remington 700 Mountain Rifles in 280. He couldn’t quite get it to put the third round into a nice little clover leaf group so he sold it eventually and bought a Browning A Bolt in 280. Helluva good shooter but I can’t stand the BOSS on it. Looks like one of those goofy poly chokes. I’ve owned just about every 7mm and 300 mag made and have yet to find much useful difference on the game I hunt over the 280. If I can’t kill it with a 280 I’m sorely lacking in the skill department sans great bears or African game. I’ve settled on the AI version as my standard for hunting and haven’t looked back. No big difference between the two maybe a 100 FPS at best. AI’s aren’t difficult especially the 280 AI being that there is safe load data published and factory ammo and brass readily available.
