I sold my Cooper 52 in 280. I didn't like how tight the chamber was for a hunting rifle and found that the throat was short. Anyway, I purchased a Sako 85 Finnlight in 30-06. It goes to Mark Bansner this Friday to have a Lilja barrel in 280 put on it. Sako doesn't make a 280. Hopefully that'll make me happy! I'll let you know how it turns out.

Sounds like a winning combo, enjoy!

Should put a big grin on your face.
