Addicted, my brother forbade me to sell it. I will lock it up for now and save up for a scope.

I'm 54 and he's 58. I still listen to him. His advice has always been good.

Very cool congrats! The 280 is a little better if you are a reloader like the guys have said. It is a great cartridge and will take any animal in north America :tup:

Couldn't get on yesterday so I'm gonna keep this going.
You're 54, your brother is 58, I'm 63 so you have to listen to me, I'm older. :chuckle: I've had 280's since the early 70's so I know you won't like it so you have to sell to me for $175. Since you don't reload I'll even throw in a box of ammo. :chuckle: :chuckle: Is it a deal?

LOL, encore. At that age, I'm surprised you still shoot! JK. :chuckle: :chuckle:

I'll take the ammo, but leave the deal. I'd guess from your username, you're all set in the .280 department.

Congrats on the .280
I wanted one so bad I decided to have one built.
Built it from a Winchester pre 64 model 70 featherweight 30.06
Was grandpas gun but I had 3 of them and a 25.06. I wasn't
Sure if it was the right thing to do or not. But grandpas gun was becoming
A safe queen and now its my new favorite toy haven't got to shoot it much
Yet but it looks and shoots far better now than it did. !!!!!!!!
