I’m glad you’re happy with it. If nothing more, you know I’m honest when I build up a gun as a good buy.
Now you need one in 280 rem and 25/06...lol.
Don't be surprised. I've been tempted a few times by 25-06's, but like you said, .280's are rare. Owners don't seem to want to part with them. Do let me know when you get bored with yours (I know, I know...and the horse I rode in on too).
