Looking for some advice. I have a Winchester Model 70 in .280 Rem that I’m considering selling to buy something else. Biggest reasons are ammo/brass availability and weight. I just got into reloading and will working on a load for it if I decide to keep it (getting a load for my 308 Marlin Express had to come first).
Reloading allows a person to shoot any cartridge they want, but I like the idea of being able to get factory ammo if I don’t have the time to reload (I have three kids under 4).
If I sell it, I’d look at getting a 6.5 Creedmoor, 7mm-08, .308, or probably something else in a short action as I would want this rifle to be my Idaho mountain rifle and cutting weight while hunting the mountains in Idaho I do hunt is helpful.
let me know if I’m crazy for thinking of selling the .280, or throw out any suggestions on rifles and cartridges you would sell it for to pick up.
