RE: Need your opinions on the .280
I would check out the Browning A-Bolt Stainless Stalker in .280 or if that' s a little over your price range, the Remington 700 Mtn. Rifle or Ruger makes it in their model 77 in 3 configurations, a blued walnut model, stainless synthetic model and a stainless brown laminate model. Just a few options for you to check out!
