Thanks for the info. Apparently Browning just came out with one in the X-Bolt rifle. The Medallion model is one i would consider, but I'm not real keen on Brownings.

Remington didn't have a .280 when I was looking this time last year, except in a Custom platform that was over $2000. The have two at $2100-$2500 this year, the Custom KS Mtn Rifle, and the Alaskan Ti, but I don't consider them standard production from Remington. The Custom KS was discontinued this year, anyway.

They have a 50th anniversary 7600 in .280 for this year, as well.

The only rifle that I see as standard Remington fare is the 700 LSS Mountain Rifle. Its still over $1000, but thats gonna be the price for a top-of-the-line gun from Big Green.

The winchester model 100 in 284 not 280 as the winchester model 100 is for short action cartridges only.

Jakeway, that is a Dandy looking rifle.
Reminds me of the Remington youth model of today!
