Just get a 280 AI and then you have the BEST OF THE 7s ! RJ
It’s a “ Extremely well balanced cartridge “ explain and comparisons ? What constitutes this ? RJ
Why is this stuff so hard for some?
Widely available, factory ammunition and reloading components relatively easy to find, flat trajectory for most sane hunting distances, capable of killing any animal in this country (proven time and time again), relatively mild recoil, holds four or five cartridge’s in the magazine, generally feeds well (better than shorter, or fatter cartridges), come in standard sporter weight rifles, the used market is incredibly robust, and I’ve probably missed something or 10.
Honestly? Doing it all again. I’d find a Ruger 77, Winchester 70, or Remington 700 in 270 or 30-06 and call it finished.

My favourite caliber is .366" but my favorite cartridge is .308 Winchester, primarily because it's available, well supported, shootable and just does a really good job in that 0-300m where everything seems to happen for me - 165gr Trophy Bonded Bear Claw 90% of the time...
Ah Ha ! Great stuff ! Great to know ALL that Hi Tech #### Chucky ! Extremely Well Balanced ! guess that leaves out the 7 RMag & 300 WMag - 280AI and all the Whizzum cartridges . And any other Out of Balance cartridges EH

Any of the 9.3's - I've owned a couple of x57's and currently have one of the 3 x62's left out of the 4 I've owned and it's unlikely to go anywhere in the next while. I'd love to try out the x64 but haven't come across one yet when I had enough jingle in my jeans...

My favorite is 338wm, followed by 3006. Boringly predictable, good, results.

I happen to like the kimber 84L and for that rifle the 270 is a perfect match imo.
Yeah right.
Baahaaahaaahaaaa!
