NEF HANDI RIFLE IN .280

Anyone have the .280 with 26" barrel in the NEF Handi Rifle.  Thinking about ordering it but have no experience with the .280.

I've got a 280, 26" barrel with a synthetic stock that I've had for almost a year.  It took about 100 rounds before the barrel setteled down, but now shoots under 1" with most loads.  Can't beat it for a $200 rifle.
