280 remington handi
« on: February 03, 2010, 12:53:37 PM »
i ran accross a used 280 handi with scope for sale for $180 looks like good condition has had stock cut down a bit. does this seem like fair price might look into it if sounds fair and make counter offer. let me know what you all think biggest thing right now will be availability of ammo for me at least. till i can start reloading. any help would be appreciated thanks in advance.

The 280 is a great round for just about aything you might want to hunt, sounds like a fair price,offer 150.00 out the door and see how it goes. With the barrel closed see if you get ant side to side movement or any at all, theres a ton of info in the FAQ.
