Ole Jack would like this rifle! He wrote in an Outdoor Life article, "The Neglected 280 Remington", "If the 280 had come out before the 270 did, I would be a 280 man." DesertDweller62

I own one of these in 280 Rem, my favorite big game cartridge, and I would highly recommend it.
I believe I once read an article written by Jim Carmichael in the "American Hunter" that he had once asked an older Jack that if he (Jim) were going to buy a new rifle what would he (Jack) recommend, a 270 Win or a 280 Rem? And Jack said, (me paraphrasing), I'd get a 280 Rem, it's a better caliber....

That looks like a 70 super grade. I wonder what caliber it is?

I owned a Classic (but not the FW) in 280 Rem years ago. As I recall, I shot a nice pronghorn, and a couple Montana mule deer in a few weeks with it. All 140 gr. Barnes handloads. Can't go wrong right here!

I have one of these that I purchased a couple years back. Funny I have a similar spot around my front swivel. I need to start shooting mine.

But Jack's last custom rifle was a 280 because he finally had his epiphany.
