I would get the .280AI with a fast twist barrel and be happy with it. Shoot heavier bullets with ease. The 280 AI is a dream rifle of mine tho.
My rifle would wear a 24" barrel even for shooting in the big woods of S.eastern MB. If I wanted a rifle for the bush it wouldn't be a 280AI it would be a 7x57mauser.... or the AI variant
