[QUOTE="chanceinmt, post: 1739464, member: 94770"] I love my .280.....My first was a Remington Mountain Rifle...sold it needed the money....the 2nd was a plain jane SS Remington....I had ER Shaw rechamber it to .280 JRS awesome rifle but alas it was stolen and the Hornady custom die set in Montana .....….my name is on a slip under the recoil pad and would love to have it back. My current .280 is an original 7mm Express with a stock change and I have killed several dozen deer and bear with it in Montana. it shoots factory Barnes 140g X, 150g Partition and 150g Rem Core Locs in the 3/8 inch group range or smaller and the Partitions are sudden death for anything I hunt. My stepdaughter started with it at 12 and has killed everything she has shot at with it no problem. The 22 inch barrel mics .665 at the muzzle and I bought it out of consignment years ago in Missoula for a song and Matt Brainard in Missoula tuned the factory trigger to about 1.5 very crisp lbs. It is the most consistently accurate hunting rifle I have ever owned or shot.....I still have the original chunky heavy basket weave impress checkered stock. [/QUOTE]
