Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles How Good is the .280 Rem?

I have a 270 and a 280. I think you got to get pretty creative to say one is actually better than the other one.

My 280 gets a lot more use but its because of the gun.My 270 is a blued 700 ADL with a wood stock that shoots great but should come with wheels!It was my first big game rifle that I got when i was a kid.Shot some stuff up here with it but its better suited to sitting in a tree on the east coast like I used it when I was a kid.

The 280 is a Rem 700 stainless mountain rifle in a Ti stock that is much lighter and weather resistant so gets the call for that class of caliber now.

So for me it has more to do with the gun and style of hunting when I'm deciding between MY 270 and 280.
