[QUOTE="LouBoyd, post: 494447, member: 9253"] Try some gunshops, gunshows, Gunbroker.com, Auction Arms, and GunsAmerica. You're posting at a place where people mostly want guns, not want to get rid of them. The 280 suffers because it's surrounded by the 270, 30-06, and the 7mm Rem Mag which are also good cartridges. Few manufactueres are making guns in 280 any more. There's no 280 Ammo at Walmart. You could rebarrel a 270 or 30-06 but that would cost more then finding a used one. If you look for one try to get it with a 3.6" magazine so you can shoot the excellent low drag bullets which exist. Rem 700's do. The SAAMI length of the 280 is the same as a 30-06 (3.34") which is not conducive to long ranage shooting. [/QUOTE]
