If I had the coin, I would buy one, just might wait until I could get it in a 7mm-08. I really do not see a bad thing about except the digital camo which can be fixed if so desired. Not a fan of muzzle breaks but it is easily removable and can be shot at the range on and in the field off. As for the 280 ai, I am a big fan of the 280, nothing wrong with the ai version but personally do not need it.
