Have a 280 and gave a 280 to my youngest. As I gotten older, I don't enjoy the weight and recoil of the 7mmRM. Besides, I'll take the half dollar hole the 280 leaves compared to the explosive impact of the 7. Deer don't know the difference. I like the 708, but I like the 260 Rem much better. 100gr Partitions at 3000 from 16.5"? Yeeousah.
