Thread: 7mm SAUM, WSM, Blaser Magnum, Rem Mag and 284 Superpig Discussion

While the 7x64 is the euro equivalent of the 280, and is a damn fine calibre, in my experience owning both 7x64, 280ai and 284s it runs 100-150 fps behind the 280ai, and 50-100 FPS behind 284. Love my 7x64 - it’s a old school HEYM wood and blued, superb example of German gunsmithing, but it ain’t light. So for most hunting trips, especially bush & rain I take short barrel light 284. Tops hunting the 280ai.
