I have a Remington Model 700 CDL in 280 REM. It was the CDL special edition rifle a couple of years ago. I have it tucked away in the back of my gun safe and it's going to be a special gift for someone someday. Of course I had to try it out and break in the barrel a bit. Man, it is sweeeeeeet.

I remember someone saying every thing you can say about the 270 you can say about the 280 only better.

I shot factory 140gr Core-Lokts out of mine. The 280 REM is supposed to be a dreamy caliber for handloaders (like the 7x57mm Mauser), but I have not tried handloading it yet.

I will have a whole lot of money tied up on it by it's all said and done though. Lol but it'll be worth it for sure
