Thread: Considering upgrading from 7mm08 to possibly 270 or something else

Went through the same conundrum a couple of months ago.

708 was doing okay but wanted a bit lighter and something that would take the knocks in the bush.

Ended up getting a Kimber in 280AI.

The truth is the extra speed of the 280AI isn't going to make any difference at the distance I shoot.

What I have learnt though is that the feel and fit of the rifle is a game changer.

If you want a new rifle , go and get one. My advice is worry less about the cartridge it comes in and more about how a particular rifle feels in your hands and fits to your shoulder.
