Well, I have been wanting one for yrs and now getting ready to pull the trigger. This will be a matching rifle to my 338-06 and figured become a "Generalist/Deer Rifle" while the 338-06 will be saved for larger game. Both are Weatherby's ULW's. I figure to have them both scoped the same for familiarity and handling.
So who uses one and how does it perform?
You're a gun nut! Of course a matching pair of 280 and 338-06 is perfect.
I wish I was more of a hunter, than a rifle nut. I would have standardized on a 308 or a 270 years ago, and been miles ahead.
Messing with the slightly different calibers is more fun for me. Get your 280 and live happily ever after!
from one nut to another.
