[QUOTE="Olbeav, post: 289104, member: 18340"] The 280 remington in a good strong bolt action rifle is one of the finest caliber, rifle combo's to come down the pike. Loaded appropriately for the game you are seeking, you could not do better in North America. I have had a Ruger Model 77 purchased in 1978, sent it to Lowell Manley to reshape the stock to fit me and I love it. I would rather trade off my old lady. My favorite load for elk with in that gun is 58 grains of surplus 4831 and 160 Nosler Partition and let me tell you that kills with aplomb in timber and out. With a heavy dose of reloader 19 and the the 140 Nosler Partition I took a nice buck in the Medicine Bow Range of Southern Wyoming at 600 yards. Do not let any of those Magnum buffs tell you the 280 is to light of a caliber , it is not I have killed forty elk certainly not all with the 280, but most of them I can tell you without a doubt it is a killer from the headwaters.I one time had a 7mag and killed some with it but switched to the 280 and never looked back, generally the rifles are lighter, cartridge capacity is greater and they more comfortable to shoot and carry. They just maybe the most under rated off the shelf bolt rifle commercially available. This one is a real sleeper!! [/QUOTE]
