I bought the Remington model 700 mountain rifle the first year they came out in the 280 Remington. This gun has over a hundred deer under its belt. I now carry a 308 tika ultra light camouflage stock in stainless steel.223 overrated. you can carry a lot of rounds, but it's hardly a step up from varmint rounds (head towards 6.8spc if you want performance in the AR15 platform- if only Remington hadn't screwed up the chamber specs)
280 underrated as others have stated. single shot, pump or bolt. it's all good in the hood. love mine. need to find a good bolt gun some day (#1 and 7600 so far). Maybe a 280AI barrel for a Nucleus action?
