[QUOTE="XSIVSPD, post: 2043301, member: 98308"] So, I'm planning on picking up a savage ultralite for my main "do most things" rifle. I have plenty of bigger stuff for long ranges (300rum, 338lm), plenty of bigger stuff if I need bear stoppers (375h&h, 458win,45-70),plenty of smaller stuff too... Even a 6.5 creedmoor if I need to kill a T-Rex from over a mile away.... I'm looking for something that won't be high recoil so I've limited it to these since the rifle is under 6lbs. Shots can be anywhere from 40yds to maybe 400-500. Will mainly be used for caribou, but also for sheep/goats/deer, and maybe moose if it's what I have with me. I live in ak so bears are an issue, but I'm never without a handgun for them, and I dont hunt them. The ammo/component shortage won't last forever so that shouldn't matter. I handload, but good, accurate store bought ammo availability is a big plus for me. So which would you pick and why? I bought a 6.5x284 for my wife so I'm somewhat familiar with the 6.5prc, but I don't know much about the 280ai other than the people that have one seem to absolutely love it. [/QUOTE]
