RE: Almost there but ran into a delimma ...need quick help??
I'd pick a swaro or zeissover a leupold any day of the week!
As far as a rifle I prefer 700's to abolts but if you like the abolt and it fits you better then you won't be dissapointed.
I assume you'll be reloading for the .280 rem (forgive me I never checked your other posts), if so it is a fine choice. If buying factory ammo then you may want to check local availability of .280 rem offerings and if not good opt for a 7mm rem mag instead.
Good Luck
