Superpig is right, unless you are a handloader the 270 is a better choice and I too am a 280 shooter. My favorite hunting gun is a Ruger 77 MKII stainless 280 with a 22" barrel. You do not need a barrel longer than a 22" barrel unless you AI. The extra length will be more of a hindrance than given you any kind of useable advantage.
