[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 843792, member: 12995"] If inside of 1,000 yards for both deer and elk.....I would go 7mm Rem Mag over .280 AI, just because of that extra 150-200 fps for the elk. If you factor in elk shots inside of 750-800 yards, and deer out to 1,000 yards, I would say .280 AI would suit you perfectly. But if you plan on shooting deer 99% of the time, inside of 1,000 yards, and plan on range shooting it alot, and want better barrel life, less recoil, better brass life, and a more efficient cartridge, I would go with the .280 AI. Action - Trued stainless/jeweled Rem 700 Barrel - Rock Creek 26" (finished length) 5R stainless & fluted sendero contour 1:9 twist, SAAMI .280 AI chamber Stock - HS Precision original Sendero stock Floorplate - Rem stainless LA Standard Base - EGW HD 20 MOA picatinny (aluminum) Rings - TPS TSR aluminum, low-height Scope - Vortex Viper HS Long Range FFP 6-24x50 XLR MOA reticle Bullets- Berger 168 VLD Brass - Nosler Custom .280 AI brass Powder - IMR 7828 SSC Primer - Federal 210 Gold Medal Match (GMM) [/QUOTE]
