They all read about the 280 AI.




The 280 Remington is overbore.

It must be all these guys lining up to tell us we can't find ammo lately. They're getting inside the heads of some of us 280 owners.

There are people who "buy" 280 ammo?

When I got into the 280 nearly 30 years ago I bought some for the brass.

Perhaps they have seen the light and have moved into the 7mm-08

Strictly coincidence for the one hanging my tag. Like I said in the ad, not getting out of the .280 business, just selling that particular rifle. I own a .270, multiple in .30'06, but .280 is my favorite of the three. I don't see that changing anytime soon.

I fairly revel in redundancy and duplication of purpose and capability. whistle crazy

Anybody need 280 brass? PM me...

Do you still have the 280 brass? I would be interested in it if so. Thanks Winston

The more funny thought....people actually buy ammo?

I buy 22LR and 12 gauge shells....
