Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Western Big Game Rifle

I have one of the first production run Mountain Rifles in 280 and it is a nice,light,and accurate rifle. I have killed a pile of deer and hogs with the 280 and it just works really well without excessive recoil or muzzle blast.

I have used mostly 139 grain Hornadys and 140 grain Balistic Tips and have had great results with them on paper and critters.

If you handload,the 280 is a lighter kicking version of the 7mm mag,with pretty much identical field performance at about 95% of 7mm mag velocity.

Get the 280.
