Same here it looks like an awesome round. Perfect for all aorund hunting in my opinion.

I have also been thinking hard about the 280. looks like it could be an outstanding all around mountain rifle.

I have a .280 (in a SS Stalker A-Bolt) and luv it.  Great all around cal.

You know I've always wanted a 270 weatherby mag in a Mark V.  When I was wrangling for my Dad's outfitting business, I was maybe 14 years old and two guys from Louisiana showed up to hunt on for one of Dad's 10 day hunts and I got to pack them in to base camp.  They both had matching blonde stocked 270 weatherby mags that they had bought that summer to come on the hunt with.  I was in absolute awe of those guns.  They were downright the prettiest gun I'd ever seen.  I plucked a crow out of a tree at around 350 yards with one of them that they let me shoot, never figured I'd be well off enough to own one.  Been scrounging the gun shows for one ever since.  When that one showed up on here the other day, it sold before I could buy it.   SOrry to hijack the thread, just little nostalgia suddenly over took me....

I think .280 is my favorite non-magnum round for north american game.  A few years ago I saw a show with Bob Robb and he took a grizzly with three shots from his .280 right behind the shoulder.  I think the first would have killed him but as they say, as long as they are standing keep shooting.

On another note, I'm glad that Weatherby has figured out how to make a 5 3/4 lb rifle.  That Mark V 30-06 in that picture was the heaviest gun around.  I seriously think it weighed 11 lbs minimum.  Kind of a neat gun though because it came with a Weatherby 3x9 scope from the factory in Weatherby brand.  My dad ended up selling it because it was too heavy to carry.  Pretty rifle though.

exactly what i like about the feel of those rifles. they are 5 3/4lbs...but they feel solid imo. not like most other synthetic stocks. and i HATE synthetic stocks.

[257 Wby Mag]

Shawn, The SBGM was the exact same thing as the ULW, the former having blackened SS, Tan stock. They did away with the SBGM, or rather named it the ULW. The extra lb comes from 2'' of snout, and alot beefer action, 9 lugger versus 6 lugs in the standard, non Wby cals. Both came with Kreiger Cyro snouts, the modern ULW still does. I've posted this pic before, 5 shots, factory 100 grain ammo, the pards ULW 270 Wby Mag will shoot on par with mine. enjoy.....

The OEM kreiger barrel weatherby's dont hold a candle to their cut rifled good stuff.....their miles seperate. ....sorry Jud...I couldnt help it.

[257 Wby Mag]

You all will like it.  My brother shot his moose this year with his .280.  If you reload look at changing it to a .280 Ackley, you'll like it even more.  I have shot one for quit a while and love it.

I have the super big game master in .257roy. I used it on one of my elk hunts this year and had results that mirrored any other big game round......dead elk with a hole in it. I like the 257's ballistics as it is the ULTIMATE range fighter, decent wind fighter and does not buck much at all. I personally would prolly go with a 700 rem and build a custom for similar money if I were to do it again. brass is as cheap as it gets, 7mm rem mag and a quick pass through the dies and voila.....roy brass
