Orion_70 Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 It's new rifle time again, I'll be looking for a Remington .280 this weekend at our gunshow that's in town. Hopefully there'll be a few around and I can find a good deal on one, if not I'll have to order one. Anyone else shoot a .280? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 Re: Remington .280 It's a very good choice for deer. It is smack dab in the middle of the .270 Win and the .30-06. If your a fan of either you will be thrilled with the .280 Rem. You can read my write up in the COTW section or by clicking here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimT Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 Re: Remington .280 I do not own one, but I will. Several of my buddys have a .280. It is a great multi purpose rifle...You will enjoy it I am sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tyshe17 Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 Re: Remington .280 I dont shoot a 280...but I have always wanted one. I shoot a 25-06 and the vellocity and trajectory on the 80 are as good if not better with a heavier bullet. I think it could be the handloaders dream. I have talked about loading a 130ish grain sciriocco into it. Let us know what you end up with and how you like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strut_Buster Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 Re: Remington .280 Dad had a Tikka in .280. Loves it. He has 4 other guns he can take to the stand, and the 208 gets there 99% of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christsavedme Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 Re: Remington .280 I have one....a Browning A-Bolt Stainless Stalker with a Leopold 3.5x10x50 sitting on it......man that is my baby! Have had it now going on 10 or 11 years and it still shoots as good as the day I got it! Love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
