Thread: 280AI - pros & cons?

Here’s mine.



I had it built for an open country rifle as I’ve just moved to Christchurch. Shoots 162 AMAX and 160 Accubonds really well although I haven’t had a chance to stretch its legs yet. Performance wise it’s on par with a friend’s 7mmSAUM but lagging behind the 7mm Rem Mag by a few 100 fps.

The only con I’ve found so far with the 280AI is the Nosler Custom brass is so expensive that while looking for an ejected shell a few weeks ago I missed an opportunity at a second Stag. It was a long walk so I guess it may have been a blessing in disguise.
