I’ve got a Ruger M77 in .280 That gun outshoots anything else I have. Everyone I shoot with has offered to buy that gun, ain’t no way I’d sell it. I wanted a Ruger 280 really bad a few years ago and never could find one. Then, as luck would have it, I saw 2 brand new ones in a local gun store. Ruger had not chambered that caliber for several years so I had no idea where they came from. I bought one, and believe it or not, it wouldn't shoot. After trying several factory loads and several handloads, I ended up sending it down the road. I was so disappointed!

My one buddy bought a compact when the .260 first came out. Wish I would've also. Another great round for whitetail deer .

Ruger had not chambered that caliber for several years so I had no idea where they came from. I bought one, and believe it or not, it wouldn't shoot. After trying several factory loads and several handloads, I ended up sending it down the road. I was so disappointed! Right after I got this gun I went to a buddies with a shooting range set up. Not sure what kind of rest it was but you just set your gun in it and move the dials horizontally and vertically to get the scope lined up with the target. First shot was a bullseye. Second shot my buddy said “Miss” I was like no way! Next shot he said “Miss” Something wasn’t right. While we were checking the ammo, scope, and mounts my other buddy walked down to the target. We knew something wasn’t right when he started walking back with the target. Turns out I had a cloverleaf hole dead center of the target that could be covered with a dime. When someone wants to borrow a gun for hunting, that’s the gun they get because I know if something goes wrong it’s on them and not the gun.
