Interesting. I've had one of three different 280s for thirty years. Two were Winchester Model 70, and one was a Remington Model 700. Each of these rifles has always worked to ensure there was venison on our table. Can't see myself without a .280.

Either bullet will serve you well. And either load in your 308 will work very well on game. I sure like the 280, having used the cartridge for years to harvest a good number of mule deer and whitetails.

Like a long, lost friend showing up after being absent from the circle of people that count!

I have preferentially used Talley rings on quite a variety of rifles, up to and including a 358 Norma Magnum and an 8X68S. Never had a problem.

I believe everything is cared for. They just need time to heal so they can fly home. Insurance will cover everything for them. Have a good flight back to the States, Vince.

You done good! Two fine bruins there.

I was awakened early this morning with a phone call from South Africa. It was Gil (posting here as BlkRam). He and his wife Susan have had a successful hunt. As they were in a vehicle going up a mountain to look for eland, the truck slid on loose rock, rolled down the track and hit either a...

Welcome aboard, Logan. An excellent first post that every new hunter, and many old hunters, will benefit by reading.

I was offered a handicap parking permit, but couldn't bring myself to park that close to the entrances. It would permit me to shoot from inside my truck, but that had scant appeal for me. Far better to go with some younger men and let them help me. Besides, I enjoy the company as it gives me...

Thanks for asking, Walkinghorse. I'm still around; lurking more than posting. Growing older ain't for wimps! A degenerating cervical spine has left me with with some severe deficits in my ulnar nerves (bilateral). My broken lumbar spine (resulting from some youthful excursions) has also...

Another find day in Africa. (y)

There are certainly bruins in that area. I would imagine you are hunting over bait, so your firearms will be more than adequate for harvesting black bears. It will be a grand trip for you and your hunting partners. We're pulling for you.

The TTSX worked quite well or you. A fine specimen.

A lovely bruin, to be sure! Congratulations.
