CH: Thanks on the 280! Neat retro little rifle! Hope to hit the range today and shoot it.

I have/had other stuff, too...used lots of it on animals. I noticed about 20 years ago that I grabbed a 270 or 7 mag just about every time I hunted...except brown bear and for that brought 375's and 338's.

7 mags (most any of them) are easy to like. Fast, flat trajectory,accurate. Bullets of ample weight and everything from high BC, long range styles to lighter speed bomb monos. And (relatively) modest powder charges . They recoil but don't beat you up. Pronghorn to moose versatility,and about everything in between.

All this in moderate weight rifles.

What's not to like? smile




The 280 Remington is overbore.

The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.
