I'd take either one. Shot an 06 my whole life. Like the 270. Never owned a 280. Would love to add one to the arsenal. Will say this, killed alot of stuff with a 25-06 and a 30-06, and after shooting a 270 for a while, I'm on the 270 train. As far as which is superior, I don't think you would tell a difference when you pull the trigger.
