Such are the perils of the age of specialization we live in... smile

Nimrods of another era grabbed a 270. 30/06,7 mag or 300 mag and made it work.....toss in elk and sheep and mule deer in open country.And plains game in Africa,and Asian mountain game as well. All with one rifle.

We can do it if we read less, shoot and hunt more. wink




The 280 Remington is overbore.

The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.
