[QUOTE="Sid Post, post: 2029760, member: 8907"] What do you hunt in the EU where the small difference in a 280Rem and 280AI makes a real difference? With Goats and Antelope being the ones that come to mind the most, I'd think a 280Rem would be pretty effective. Being closer to Africa though, I could see some larger Plains game animals that would benefit from a larger caliber that hits harder. Personally, I ended up with a 7SAUM but, my old Winchester 7x57 FeatherWeight is the one I grab the most! That old rifle is a sweet one and in Texas will really hit a deer hard and does an adequate job on a larger feral hog. If I ever make an African Safari, I would be tempted to take it with me for things like Springbok and maybe a Monkey or something similar around a watering hole though, a 375H&H backup makes a whole lot more sense.
