You know you want that model 20 I think it is with a .284win....short action...
How popular is the 280rem? the 270 and 30-06 hugely popular....
ie if you decide the 280rem, then why not get the 284win?
the 280ackley improved is also an option.
god there are so many options! haha. the 7mm-08 will kill a deer, but if you go short action, then why not get a 270wsm or 7mm wsm or 300wsm? or 284win?
btw IMO the 270 is a 130gr bullet, the 30-06 is a 165/180, so that may help decide things, of course then you may want the 280 with 140's 160's...haha.
