I have a ruger 77 RL in 270 tang safety that I would never sell, but I really like this mountain .280 a lot and wanted the Fire's input on it. It's $800 as described with ammo and rings/bases.
I've got 3 a 308 and 243 "older"(got used around 99') models with floor plate. And "newer" bought new 2001 in .260 DBM . model . Now above you said bolt handle was different than your other 700's? all 3 of mine are the same and like most 700 handle with "rough" bolt handle. wonder if it's the orginal bolt? The DBM is a matter of personal opinion , wife uses the .260 and likes the drop box it's easy for her to load/unload
