[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 1334397, member: 68875"] I am nearing the end of a build after having this very same dilemma. 6.5-06AI to run 140s @ 3150 or .280AI to run 160/168s @ 2900-2950. It started life as a .30-06 a long time ago. I build it into a medium weight (11#) .25-06AI about 14 years ago for a deer/antelope rifle. Time for a change. My goal is an 8-8.5# finished w. scope light carry deer rifle that can be a back up elk rifle as well. So I went .280AI. I can still push 140s @ 3100ish if I so desire as well. R700LA BDL Manners EH1 Proof Sendero Light Hawkins 3 port brake Fluted bolt Carbon Fiber knob Allow bolt shroud Shilen Match trigger @ 1.5# Seekins 20MOA alloy Picatinny Seekins 30mm Low alloy rings Premier Heritage Light Tactical 3-15x50 [/QUOTE]
