Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Wanted: Flat shooter, light weight

b: Either of the 270/280/280AI can be sighted and arranged for "hold on meat" to 300 yards,and even at 350 you won't be holding much more than high shoulder on a mature mule deer or elk.Bullets from 120-160 gr will do it. They all have enough case capacity to give the velocity.

You can work out your own system for distances greater than that....

I know because I've used all three for exactly that. (My 280AI was labeled 7 Rem Mag).

There's lots of bullets that will handle the deer,antelope,and elk.

I was shooting a 22" 7# 270 the other day and could hardly feel it go off.
