I would Jump on the 280 "The .280 Remington is capable of developing energy nearly equal to the .30-06 Springfield, but with lighter bullets having a better ballistic coefficient. The .30-06 produces more energy than the .280 with bullets heavier than 180 grains, though .284" 175 grain bullets have a high sectional density of .310, compared to the 30-06 180 grain bullet with a moderate sectional density of .271. The .280 is suitable for hunting any game in North America with good shot placement.' ammo prices are about the same the only real advantage of the 30.06 is the wider range of ammo available and that the ammo can be found almost anywhere

Ben, Buy them all. Get the .280 if it is in good shape and a value. Get your .30-06 when you find a deal on a nice one. Can never have too many nice bolt guns. If the .280 is a deal look at it as an investment. I am not a fan of the 300 WSM.
