Finally got a #1 in 280 Rem checked off my 'bucket list". Picked it up about a year ago and just got glass on it and a load for it.



Should be minute of deer to over 500 yds.



Guess I should get some pix of the rifle up - huh

yes, you should

Congrats!

Isn't it a violation of forum rules to start a thread about a nice gun and not post pics of the gun?

Abso-effing-lutely!

Pix up



Don't know if it is an A, B, Q or Z sub model - how do you tell?



Pad was replaced with a decelerator pad. There is a black bear etched in one side of the receiver and a big horn ram on the other side.



Even got my "kids" in this one.

It's a B - 26" medium weight barrel, no sights, semi-beavertail forearm.

Looks like it shoots pretty good. ;-)

Nice. That wood has some good character.

Classy!

OP, can you post a close pic of the etching on the action? Like to see it.

The etching of the bear is actually a bear, but in the pix it kinda looks like a cougar w/o a tail.

God bless John Browning.

I too am on the search for a Ruger #1 B in 280 Remington.

Sweet lookin' rifle, Bart... "good" on ya's, ol' buddy.

Strength & Honor...

Found an AB in 7x57 once. Only one I ever saw. Prolly should have bought it.

188 yds, quartering toward me right side. 1 thru the ribs and out just before the hip - kinda messy.
