Thanks to all of you for your insights and input.

I have considered some of the current production rifles that were mentioned. However, none of them are quite what I want. I don't care for stainless steel rifles (or pistols). I really don't like skinny-barreled mountain rifles either. I just want a regular weight sporter with a decent walnut stock. I know....some of the well known makers made them a few years back. I guess I should have bought one then. I appreciated the thoughts on the 270 caliber. I have a couple of 270's...a Winchester and a Marlin model 7. It's a fine caliber. Just want a new toy to play with! As far as the 7mm Magnum...I avoid magnum cartridges. I owned a couple of Weatherby Mark V's in magnum calibers. Those were some of the poorest shooting rifles I ever owned. I have decided to bide my time...maybe I can find what I want at one of the larger regional gun shows next spring. If I can't, I have a 700 BDL in 30-06 that has a lot or rounds through it. It just might become my 280. Thanks guys!
