Need a new barrel 6.5-06AI vs .280AI

[Highcountry]

Cant make up my mind between these two calibers. I was going to do a rebarrel and want something a little different please feel free to share your thoughts and experiences Thanks

Go with the 6.5/06 AI, just to be different!

I'd go with the .280AI. 7MM performance or close to it. Looking forward to getting one of my own some day!

I like the 280AI myself. You can even buy factory Nosler ammo for it if needed.

I have been really thinking about doing one of those up, nothing like being way different than the other ones!
