Good choice. The other two don't give you much more in most hunting situations.
I remember when we finished up my son's left hand 700 in 280AI. He went to the range with a friend to whom I had just sold a stainless/walnut Featherweight FN Model 70 in 270 Win. Son remarked that he should have just bought a 270 as there wasn't much difference. IIRC the 24" 280AI went about 3150 with a 140 and the 22" 270 went 3100 with a 130......he didn't figure that 10 grains of bullet weight and 50 fps would make a big difference. It won't.
