If by all around rifle you think you might practice with it lots Id still stay under the 30cal. 300wsm in 6ishlb rifle still might not be the most fun unless you like that kinda thing. Still a great cartridge especially since you have a .284 already. However my vote would be to the 280 AI.
Another note if weight isn't a huge issue I put a bell and carlson sporter stock on the 6.5creed ultralite I bought for the mrs. Got Rod to open up the barrel channel a bit for the proof barrel. Added maybe 3/4 lb but feels like a darn nice gun now other then the ugly 90 bolt lift. I did just find a light bolt handle extension and carbon fibre knob so going to see if that makes it feel bit better.
110 ultralite, B&C stock, gunwerks MB, talleys and vortex diamondback tactical it came out to 8.3lbs.
