I visited a couple guys I knew who'd recently lost their father when I was a teenager and as I already owned a Ross M10 303 I was incredibly impressed to find a Ross 280 sporter leaned up in the corner behind the door of the room I stayed in.
I had heard about the phenomenal accuracy of the Ross 280 from talk among my father's friends.
It had been their dad's and though I was tempted, I thought it was in poor taste to ask if I could buy it off them.
I ran into one of them about five years ago and asked about it.
"You know," he said. "I don't know what happened to that gun."
