Some nice calibers mentioned and not to put any of them down but surprisingly no one mentioned the 270 Winchester. A necked down 30-06, flat shooter, almost same dimensionally as a 280 Remington BUT, I can walk into any store to buy ammo in a variety of bullet weights and not pay with my arms & legs for it. This has been designated the caliber that can take all big game in North America. By the way, a 270 is a true 7mm (bullet diameter of .277). Why would anyone pick a round that when things get tough you know you can still can get ammo to shoot the rifle instead of using it as a club. But since you are set on these calibers I hessitate to pick the 280, but make that a 270 instead and you'll never go wrong (or out of ammo).
