I have a .280, and think I'd like a 7mm-08 if I ever had one, and I've kicked the idea around. I've had bad luck with Rugers, and Remington QC is spotty these days, but I still think I'd go with the Remmie in .280. The .280 is a fine cartridge, and if the Remmie shoots well enough, you'll have a dandy outfit. And if you want to AI later, the 280 is the way to go.
