I am thinking buy it and toss it up on the classifieds here for $900 and turn a quick profit.
This what I was thinking as well. I also like the idea of getting it re-barreled - a 6.5 lb standard 280 wouldn't suck.
I also agree with Brad on the 30-06 in the 84L. They ain't fun to shoot from the bench or some field positions, especially prone. But if you're going to use it on deer, a 150 of some flavor isn't too bad in the recoil department.
