i really have my eyes set on that ruger. Each .280 i find with a 24" or longer barrel is ALWAYS with the black synthetic stock. Winchester doesnt even make a .280 anymore, not that i can find. so im pretty much set on that ruger. unless i find a used .280 in top shape.
The Browning A-Bolt Medallion is chambered in 280, but it only has a 22" tube.
They did chamber the 280 in the NEF with a 26 inch barrel. I have one in the gun case. They might have just dropped it. I think they still have the barrels on the barrel accessory program. NOT SURE. Check the barrel accessory program at hr1871.com
I just looked at current listings. It would be a good combo if you ask me. I guess I just have a thing for 26" bbl's.
