do any manufacturers make a rifle in .280 rem anymore?

[flying pig]

Just starting to look into a new hunting rifle. My dad loves his 30-06 but says he prefers the ballistics of the .280 and I'd like one. I like bolts and semis both but I think I'd prefer a bolt. Anyone know of an over the counter set up available? If not I think a .270 will do for my needs.

Browning makes one in the abolt maybe an xbolt too

I know Ruger used to make their mark II in 280, not sure if they still do though

Yes, x-bolts come in 280, and so do Remington mountain rifles. Kimber or Cooper may chamber .280 as well... I'm not sure.

Kimber does the AI version, Cooper does both. Remington also has the XCR II.

Weatherby chambered it for a while in their Mk V Ultralight, not sure if they still do or not.

I always thought .280 Rem would be a great cartridge because there's more bullet selection than .270 Win. In the end though, I went with .270 Win and have really never regreted it.

Model 84274 is the only Remington 700 in .280 Remington and that rifle is a Mountain SS. This rifle comes with a Bell & Carlson stock at 6.5 pounds. Mine is a BDL SS (Stainles Synthetic) which I have had since 1998.
.280's do show up on EE occasionally.

Browning, Ruger, Remington, Sako, Cooper all still make somthing in .280 rem.
