[QUOTE="nicholasjohn, post: 1930480, member: 109113"] I'm not yet as comfortable with the new 280 as I am with the old '06, but I'm warming up to it pretty quickly. It carries a lot more easily, and it's a good shooter. Recoil is about the same, even though the bullets are 40 grains lighter. This is due to the lighter overall weight of the rifle, I'm sure. It's a comfortable level of recoil, so I'm happy with that. The rifle has a different feel to it - more like a good-fitting bird gun as it comes to the shoulder. I think the shortness of the action ( relative to a bolt-action ) is the reason for that. The 280's trajectory is a little flatter than the 30-06, but not enough to make me have to re-figure everything I've ever learned. I have also not missed having extra rounds waiting in the magazine, but I may one day appreciate the handiness of a repeater. Most of the time, the first round is the one that puts the bambi-burgers in the freezer. [/QUOTE]
