Ok I have a few ideas here either a nice 243, or 25-06 or a 6.5 grendel or a 45-70 lever gun Ik it’s a lot of option but they are all very nice

I don’t see that you need anything. It’s a matter if what you want. I can see 30/30, 45-70, .444, .450 Bushmaster lever action rifles.

If a guy can't get it all done with a 6.5 creed, 30-06 and a 300 win mag, he can't get it done. I'd spend the money on hunts, ammo, retirement, optics, new tires, boots, tents, possibly a good blade, a USA made backpack, etc. Just me and I did downsize myself recently. And haven't missed any of them.

While I'd throw a suppressed 300 blk SBR into your mix, I'd agree with the above. You're buying a rifle just to buy one at this point.

Is the 280ai only a good purchase if you reload? Or are factory loads good to
I’ve looked into .280ai a ton. Basically an ‘06 on steroids. There looks to be lots of good factory ammo options. The only downside I’ve seen to .280ai is the cost of ammo

I keep a 243 around, mostly to loan to youth hunters. how ever it seems to be the only one that I could find ammo for this year. I would also say a 308, not ideal but since it is nato you will also be able to get some type of ammo for it

Long gun wise what else would you add caliber wise?

I have :
.22
.223/556
6.8 Spc
3006
6.5 creedmoor
300 win mag.

also every shotgun combo and length.

I was thinking maybe a .270? Or a .280 but is it to similar to what i have? Also a .338 but not sure i will ever need that much fire power.

I really like my .280 and always recommend that caliber whenever someone asks if they are trying to decide between a .270 or a 30-06, since it is a great one that fits between the two. I’ve noticed that .280 ackley improved is becoming very popular so that might’ve an even better choice nowadays for availability and it’s little faster. I too have a .300 win mag and will also never need anything bigger, but something real big is intriguing like a .375 h&h just for the hell of it.
