Once again another example of Remington's quality control and customer service slipping away. I sure hope they wake up and get things back to the way they were.

Been kicking around the thought of one in .280.  My customs have also been Remington 700s.  But I do not like the Remington extractor.  If you're talking $800-$900 anyway, may as well look at Winchesters too.  If you want to spend a little less, I find Rugers to be a better value in general, and plenty accurate.

I'm not sure if I've ever owned a true factory Remington... come to think of it, I guess not.

I, on the other hand, have had good luck with my Rem 700 BDL.

Purchased one in 300 win mag a few years ago and it functions perfectly. It shot the loads I worked up at less than MOA right out of the box.

Wind at your back . . .
