[QUOTE="sharktown, post: 496150, member: 27667"] Tophatt, I've had a 280 Rem for over 20 years and have taken my share of deer and an elk with it. Longest was about 300 yds and I know the rifle and cartridge is capable of much longer shots as I've shot targets at 500-600yds. I questioned my ability at the time to cleanly take game at longer range and didn't want to take the chance of wounding an animal that would run off lost. I really don't hunt anymore but do target shoot and my 280 Rem can get out there at 400-600yds and do it accurately - and with the same 22" barrel that it came with. I'm thinking of going to a longer barrel of around 26"- 28" and maybe have it chambered to 280 AI then hopefully get another 150-200 yards with a lot of practice and see how it goes. gun) Sharktown [/QUOTE]
