They have a few little quirks that can be worked out pretty easy. Sometimes the triggers need a little work but they will do a free trigger job down to 3 1/2 lbs if you send it in. That plus the extra barrels for under 100.00 makes them a good deal. That 280 will shoot 1 1/2 inch groups and may do even better after a little breakin and some expiermenting with loads. Most of them will settle in and shoot 1 1/2 to 2 inch groups. Pretty good for the price and good enough for most huntng. Its kind of nice once in a while to return to the simplicity of the little single shot. I have had countless hours of fun with them. I have had the 223, 243, 30-30, 30-06, 12GA, 10 Ga and this 280. I have a 44 Mag synthetic ordered now. Also have the 45-70 and 410.
