[QUOTE="Dr. Tad Hussein Winslow, post: 1207280, member: 7123"] Light, heavy, in between - the .280 is good for all. (when do you say the rifle would be 16 lbs?) But true enough, in a heavy rifle I'd definitely tend toward 6.5mm-'06 A-square or 7mm WSM, rather than the .280 Rem. Also, for a heavy bench rifle, you might also consider .204 ruger, .22-250 (with a 1 in 8 or 9 twist), or 6mm Remington, for a medium range laser. But I believe all of those, except the 6.5mm-06 a-square, are gonna require a different bolt (but you can do that). I have a T/C Encore ProHunter in .280, and just ordered a Weatherby Mark V lightweight in .280. Gonna keep whichever is more accurate and sell the other one. Among hardcore Alaskan and Western US hunters, .280 is much more popular than elsewhere in the country and world - and for good reason. It's one of the most popular cartridges in Alaska and the American West. [/QUOTE]
