Here is the Ruger No 1 280 Rem/7mm Express I bought from Gregory B.

I like it!

Very nice rifle Dan!

 

[6mm Remington]

You will love the rifle and the chambering! Beautiful #1 by the way. A 4.5-14x40mm Leupold with the Boone & Crockett reticle would be a great scope on it...........just saying.

Excellent, I was ruminating on that one as well. I’ve always thought the 280 an underrated cartridge.

 

[highoctane]

You got a gem there! The 280 is my favorite. I've owned mine for 30 yrs.

Nice snag.

Excellent, I was ruminating on that one as well. I’ve always thought the 280 an underrated cartridge.

I think part of he problem stems from Remington's request to keep the Maximum Average Pressure at the same level as the 30-06. They did the same with the .35 Whelen. They said they were afraid loading them to their full pressure would damage their pump and semi-auto rifles. I can run my .280 up to2900 FPS and change with excellent accuracy. That's pushing close to the .280 AI and 7MM Rem. Mag.
Remington didn't do either cartridge any favors.

If that rifle doesn’t work out for you I will buy it back for $100 since it’s used now.

[NYDAN]

Great acquisition. I am sure you will like it.

However, if you don't like it, I will gladly DOUBLE the above offer.

 

[salmonchaser]

I think that offer is a restocking fee.

You guys are too kind

Very nice! I also have a Ruger #1B in .280 that also carries the stamp 280/7mm Express. It unfortunately doesn't get used much. The reason why is that I also have a .280 Rem Mountain Rifle that is just a little lighter to carry and shoots well too. Maybe it's time to get the #1 out again and get the dust out of the barrel.

I would't mind finding a Ruger #1 in .280 Rem. I wonder if Ruger ever brought it out in the "S" configuration? I prefer that style over the others.

I agree Paul. It would be perfect for hunting WT deer from a blind.

Very nice rifle. Never was much of a .280 fan myself, .30-06 has always been the apple of my eye. That said I don’t know why it couldn’t do much if not most of the same things.

I was just thinking today about how I will need to get another No.1 as I sold my 6mm a short while back. It will likely be a .30-06 or a .220 Swift, or a .375, or a…..
