The .280 wouldbe my absolute first choice IF if was offered in the left handed models.
Also, someone earlier asked what rifles I already have....funny situation. Remember I said I bought and sold and bought and sold.....I am currently, for the first time in YEARS, withoutANY rifle right now and it's driving me crazy. I live close to my folks, and I run by there and shoot a few rounds through my Dad's Ruger M77 .270 every few day to keep my sanity.
