Originally Posted by BobinNH The 280 and 280AI are better than the 270;the 7/08 is better than all of them,and is a better LR elk cartridge than a 300 Weatherby....... The 280,280AI,7/08,and the 270WSM were no where to be found on the B&C "most popular caliber" list...... Everything under 30 caliber sucks as an elk cartridge..... 4X scopes are fractionally better than iron sites.....maybe not as good cause they weigh more.... If it has been invented in the last 48 hours, it is automatically better than anything that came before it..... 14X is essential to kill a bull elk the size of a draft horse at any distance beyond 250 yards.... If the animal runs at the shot, the bullet failed.... If the animal falls to the shot,the bullet failed.... WSM's don't feed..... For under a grand, the factories should give us rifles that are cosmetically like a Jerry Fisher rifle,and shoot like a benchrest class rifle....to 1000 yards....with hunting bullets.. No one can hit anything beyond 300 yards without a dot or turrets....they are only "guessing".... When you buy a rifle,you should first ask how much it weighs.... When you buy a scope you should first ask how much it weighs.... When you buy mounts you should first ask how much they weigh.... When you buy a synthetic stock you should first ask ....how much it weighs...... All the above is said in good fun of course cause there really is a lot of excellent information and experienc on here Bob there are just one too many truisms there.
