[QUOTE="sierrastalker, post: 2949020, member: 125664"] Some great options here. I'm leaning towards a 20" barrel at this point, just to hit the middle on velocity and muzzle blast. 6.5x284 is VERY tempting [USER=64849]@sierracharlie338[/USER] ! It would be a new cartridge to play with, I've got loads of 6.5 bullets to try and I like the ballistics. My dad is also trying to talk me into a 270. It's his favorite cartridge and it's hard to argue with the results he's had over the years shooting it. I'm tempted to go with it just to give the old man a nod. He'd be so hyped every time I bring something home with the rifle, which would be fun. Appreciate the big bear consideration [USER=55998]@ridgewalker[/USER] , as well. I do hunt in griz country in MT on the years I get lucky and pull a combo tag. In a 35 Whelen or 338-06 I don't think I'll get the distance out of it that I'd like. The 280 AI just keeps calling to me, the simplicity of having the reloading components on hand and the ballistics are both hard to ignore. [/QUOTE]
