Does anyone remember the article in Outdoor Life that mentioned Jack O'Connor and his opinion of the 280 Remington? It might have been written shortly after his passing and mentioned the 280 in a hunt in Nepal (or there abouts), zeroing the rifle, shooting a crow, and the success it had on mountain sheep.

    Yes, and I beleive this article is included in his book on sheep hunting.
    His last custom rifle was a Ruger m77 /280 rem.

    He liked the .280 better than the .270, but once he had opined one could kill anything in North American with a .270, and it was perceived to be his favorite, he felt he was stuck with that. He did indeed kill at least one each of every North American big game species with a .270.
