Default Ruger .280 - Who has one?

I've been shooting my M77 .280 for about 8 years now. This is by far my favorite rifle for hunting deer or hogs. As far as I know, there is only one more in my town. I know this because only one shop in town sells ammo for them and he only orders it when one of us comes in and asks him for it. It's a fairly uncommon gun, but I love it. Here's a picture of it. It's on top in both pictures.

I've shot 150 gr Federals and 129 gr Hornady out of it and both perform great.

You do realize I'm going to drag that 4 doored POS up and down the highway on the way to the track, then once we're at the track I'll be back in the staging lanes waiting for you to cross the traps, eating a delicious sandwich your girlfriend made me, right?

I have a feeling you'll be the one making a sandwich at the line when I launch on a 2 hundo.

I have a rem 700 chambered in .280 my dad bought it back in the early 80's and ive used it some, great shooting round. There must be a few around here, cause the gunshop keeps a good bit of ammo for it.

I'll take my .280 over my .270 every time.
