VTbrshbstr Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 Well I have been wanting a rifle chambered in .280 Remington for years and I have also been wanting a Remington pump or auto loader for a long time as well. My best friend had a Remington 7400 in 280 given to him a few months ago, I have let his girlfriend deer hunt with my 700 BDL 30-06 the last two years and she loves it and has been bugging him to buy it off me so last night we swapped even! Can't wait to shoot this sweet little rifle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 my dad's got a Rem 7600 pump and I've got a Rem 742 Woodsmaster. Keep it clean and it'll work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Sounds like a pretty fair trade for both. Hope the .280 works out well for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 That is awesome! I've always loved the .280 myself! I believe a 7400 in .280 is pretty rare, so good luck with it! It's a great caliber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LETMGROW Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 my dad's got a Rem 7600 pump and I've got a Rem 742 Woodsmaster. Keep it clean and it'll work. Key to any rifle. Don't over oil it either. The 7400 is very reliable and is accurate. I prefer (or my rifle does) Hornady ammo in my 7400 .308 and my .06 carbine.
