[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1207866, member: 30902"] With what you already have I'd say you are well prepared for about anything. I would find it very difficult to step down from the STW to the .280 AI. If anything I would say build a lighter version of the STW with a .26" barrel so you can put a good muzzle brake on it. In all of my rifles I really like having both a heavy and light version and it's served me very well over the years. That way if I want one to carry I have it and if I want to set up high some place and set up for long range I have that option as well. I have 3 7mm STW's from 7.5lbs up to nearly 16lbs, and have the same in my 300wm's and 300 Rum's. I had planned to keep it to just one light and one heavy in all of those calibers but inevitably it seems that I always came across a good deal in something in between as well and couldn't resist. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with the .280AI, it's a great little round, it's just not as sexy as the STW.:D [/QUOTE]
