I've 3, well actually one was made for my daughter so it's hers... The others are a Remington mountain rifle and a custom 280 Ackley on a pushfeed M70 action. The last hasn't been worked with yet..and was really bought as a gunsmithing project. It has a stock with cast on for a 'left' hand shooter.. this is backwards for a right handed shooter. I bought the rifle to experiment with stock bending. If it breaks I get to restock it!! My daughter loves the 280 and has killed a bunch of deer with hers. The Mountain rifle shoots fine but has never been hunted with. I really bought it for a back up for Tiffany's rifle. She's never used it. The 280 is indeed between the 270 and 30-06. Shoots a bit flatter than the '06 and has a heavier selection of bullets than a 270 for a bit more punch on the larger stuff. Sort of a 7mmRemMag, lite, but not too light.
