OEH,
Were you "dissing" the 280?
If it looks like a.. Oh no I wasn't dissing it thats just the summation of what my experience with 280's has been at least shooting 140 grain ballistic tips and the chronograph readings I have been getting. In hunting reality not one bit of difference will kill as well as anything out there. I spoke to the owner of the rifle last nite and got more specifics on it. It's a 98 GEW and needs the reciever to be opened up so bullets can be seated to 3.330 OAL . I would like to add a gentry 3pos wing safety and have the bolt handle replaced and after talking to the guy figuring what all the mods would cost blew the rifle out of the water. So it will be a no go on this fine rifle
