Why would 280 not be a good plinking rifle

I was just told that you'd get maybe 1000 rounds out of a 6.5x284 and then groups would start opening up drastically but that was just what I was told or read and the 7mm calibers can shoot a heavier bullet with higher B.C. I mean the 6.5 s can go heavier but you gotta get some weird bullets and...

I think I'm going with the 280 ai or 7mag I like the 7s and I've never owned one and I'd like to see how they do on critters at around 700yards ish

Well I guess it's not so much the rifle I am asking about it's more of a caliber options and the Creedmoors every one has got one I'd like to be different I suppose

So 280ai vs 6.5x284 it's also gonna be a long range pinking gun and a little bit for deer and antelope not so much for elk I gotta 300 Winnie for that ......good info guys

>Just recently bought a 7mm. Love >it!! I would recommend a >muzzle brake as well. Buy >a good gun and spend >more on good glass. I was thinking about that on a savage LRH and it has a adjustable muzzle break I have a 300 win mag that has a muzzle break and it recoils like a 270 maybe a...

>6.5x284 all day. >6.5's have excellent ballistics and they >just flat out kill stuff. > Again barrel burner?? So I have heard no personal experience I could get a savage and do barrelseaps on the cheap but it's still throwing 300$ at a new barrel I would like one I just don't wanna replace...

So I got the green light to buy a new rifle and I'm not sure what caliber I want a long range (1000 yards max) target rifle but also a hunting rig like it to be lower recoil but still able to reach out light enough to pack heavy enough to target shoot I know it's a lot to ask out of one rifle I...

Yes they do I have had good luck with Boyd?s gunstocks but I would piller bed it and glass bed maybe ??? I have never glass bedded anything so it would be a good learning thing and what would you guys think about like a cerikoat or something

I also fount dies from Hornady and another company for around 80$

The reason for considering a re barrel is caliber I want a 280 ai but I think I will shoot this one out before a re barrel and it will probably be passed down and the double triggers are not efficient but they add to the cool factor any recommendations on stock wood synthetic brands??

I do reload and I have 50 fire formed cases and 50 loaded 06 and from the looks of it I think mine will probably have a 24 inch bbl

It's cool if I throw a new stock on it I suppose the double triggers are just okay and it is fun to shoot I'll prolly keep it and make it shootable and use it for a back up

My local gun smith charged about 600$ for a rebarrel I'm not sure it would be worth it unless it was an unusual caliber like 280 ai or something that is a good caliber while still being odd I hand load so the sky is the limit as far as calibers go I would like a 280ai but I found this one shoots...
