    Still trying to decide on caliber. I already have APRs in .25-06 AI and .264 Win Mag, so am pretty well covered for long range on deer sized game. I want the Tier 1 lightweight. It will be used for midrange, out to 500 yds. It will be primarily for deer sized game with the possibility of elk sized game thrown in.

      I still haven’t made up my mind on caliber either.

      I’m also trying to figure out which scope but leaning towards a Zwaro Z6.

          Sounds like your need a 30 cal in your life: 308 or 300 wm

            It's hard to justify anything else when you already own a 264 Win Mag
            The big 7's running heavies can be fun to play with and deliver a little more energy for the elk opportunities. But it's not like the 264 won't get it done either. A 30 may be a big enough jump to consider?

              Your now trying to talk me into a 264 that I didn’t think I needed

                  I thought about a .300 but am planning a tier 1 ultralight and since I don't like muzzle breaks I don't think I could handle the recoil.

                  I really can't justify anything else, I just want another APR. Currently, in rifles, I have:
                  .223
                  .22-250
                  .25-06 AI
                  .264 Win Mag
                  .270 Winchester
                  .275 Rigby
                  7mm-08
                  .30-30
                  .300 Win Mag
                  .338 Win Mag
                  .375 H&H
                  .44 Mag
                  .45-70

                    Tier 1 without a brake..............everyone should own a .280 Ackley Improved.

                      That would be my thoughts as well.

                          Agree 100%. It is between the 280AI and the old antiquated ineffective 270 win for me.

                            What would y’all recommend for a short barreled varmint application. I’d like to have one that carries easily in my truck to shoot coyotes and also start my son shooting on something with very little recoil. I am not familiar with the which of the .22 type calibers are good out of a short barrel or if there is an alternative.

                              I’m personally doing a 22-250 in a 20” build for this round

                              I primarily shoot suppressed and won’t take a shot pass 300-400 yards so was given the green light for a 20” setup

                                I keep going back to the 25-06 and 6.5-284.
