SC, I have an MR-7 in .280 in excellent condition that was purchased 2 years ago. It came with a Bushnell Trophy 3x9x40mm scope & I payed $325.00, a real good deal. It's the most accurate factory rifle in my vault. The .280 Remington was the last caliber added to the line & was made only in 1998 & 1999, the last 2 years of production. I'll keep this one & eventually pass it on to my sons. If you get the opportunity to pick one up, certainly do so. You will not regret it.
