[QUOTE="Plinker147, post: 2476651, member: 88320"] I would use your 280 AI as you will get an advantage using 160-180 gr bullets over the 140gr in 6.5. We killed a lot of elk with both cartridges you mentioned so either will work fine. I used the 175 EH in my 280AI last year and killed a nice 6x6 at 550yds. Year before killed another 6x6 at 150 yds with accubonds. Both worked great but I prefer the 175EH. 175 LRAB shot good in my gun as well but Berger’s just a little more accurate. For your scope choice I would go with the lighter one of the two on the 280 AI [/QUOTE]
