I've never owned/shot a 280 AI
Never will. I've had 7 Mags for yrs, no muss, no fuss.

Why shoot a 280, when you can step up to a 30-06 or 7mm rem mag....
Had a 280 then a 7mag then a 270 win. The 7mag is a great cartridge because it's a great piece of American magnum history (264 WM, 7mm RM, 300 WM, 338 WM, 458 WM) and if you buy one you won't be satisfied, you will always something more and something less, which is actually a positive trait in a cartridge
The farthest successful shot I took on any big game was with a 7mag and a wolf. Great memories.
