Any thoughts and value approximations appreciated. Fred I retired from the Johns Manville asbestos pop tart factory in ‘59, and still never made the connection.—-Slumlord

Wis I used to have one in .270...really nice rifles but don't remember seeing one in 280 for sale. Wasn't it Don Lewis in Fur Fish & Game that used to occasionally write about his? As I recall, he was very partial to it for whitetails here in Wisconsin.
