I would use the one that you're most comfortable with. Where are you going to be hunting at?

Neither. How are things on Ft. Hood?

I'm leaning towards my 280 since I've shot it alot more. We are going out to Shafter, TX.

Mickey, Ft Hood is what it is I guess. Hard to get the area I want most of the time and when I do its crowded.lol How are things your way.

Cold. I guess crowded too. I was stationed at Ft. Hood years ago. I recall them placing hunters in trucks, and other wrecks, for blinds.

I've never hunted Aoudad. But, I hear the shots can be close to 300 yards. So, the .280 should be a good call. I said neither because I'm a 30/06 man. No other reason.

Shoot a nice one!
