Jack O'Connor's last custom rifle was built for him by Al Biesen in 1978. What was the make and model of the barreled action, and what was the caliber specified? No peeking, but guesses are allowed.

Happy has it exactly right. There is an article in the 2013 edition of Gun Digest that describes the rifle in detail.
The author speculates that Jack had become disenchanted with the quality of the Winchester line in 1964, but I believe he had a number of rifles built on pre-'64 actions since then.
The choice of the .280 is not too surprising, as Jack once said it was marginally better than the .270, but not enough to warrant a trade-up.
