280AI vs 7 Backcountry

[Rick_AK_2325]

I’m a fan of both calibers, but I’m looking for something a little more compact. Maybe I’m just being a baby when it comes to trekking through heavy brush here in Alaska, but compact and light seems like it would work best hence the 110 ultra lite with either a 20” or 22” barrel. From there I’m hoping to choose the most accurate stock rifle/ammo. Also left handed.

I’m also in Ak. I have a 300wm tikka i got cut and threaded. Its been accurate and is easy to carry in willows. I’m also a way bigger fan of tikkas than savage. Been on 2 successful brown bear hunts and 1 moose hunt.

Great pic! Sadly no moose where I’m at. How short did you cut the barrel? Just took a glance at a left hand tikka t3x lite Veil in 300wm. 24” fluted barrel. I’m assuming they would only be able to cut and thread up to the fluting?
