Could you post or pm me the loads that are working good for them. 280 is my favorite gun also have you thought about having a custom gun made real close in price to the mark 5
The confusing part to me, the two rifles you have in your choice are kind-a the opposite? Arn't they?If you are going for a "Mountain-Type" rifle, it sounds like you are considering weight, but you list the Weatherby as you other choice, and I may be wrong here-it happens quite a bit ya know, and they can be a bit heavier.
Of the two, the LSS would be my pick as I'm simply not fond of Weatherby rifles....I've had a handful of LSS rifles, and retain two in the stable. A nice attractive rifle for sure, but the balance is butt heavy due to the heavy laminate stock.If it were me.... I'd get the LSS and either drop the barreled action in a McMillan Classic or Mountain Rifle EDGE stock. Or, if $$ was tight, drop it in a take off Ti stock. You'll cut 9-12 oz and have a better balanced and handling rifle. BTDT
