Fairly decent score on a 28 Nosler.

[Biggerhammer]

Everything new.

Browning X-Bolt Western hunter, 26" barrel with muzzle brake
Extra magazine
(2) boxes of 28 Nosler 175gr Long Range Accubond Ammunition
Talley 20 moa base

$750.00 out the door, including the transfer.

Is this the one you just bought that expensive factory ammo for?

[Biggerhammer]

Yes, I didn't have time to order it in at cost. So I got two boxes with the rifle when I purchased it. I then purchased a additional two boxes of the 175gr ACLR's. Which if you look at it isn't too bad. Nosler wants $60.00 bucks locally for 25 pieces of new brass, so I might as well purchase factory ammo for $77.99 a box get the one firing and reload the brass.

I'm usually a Savage only guy. But if this is available on payday and I can get the funds out of the bank without the wife noticing... Someone please buy this!

Pretty sure Hammers not selling it for $750 , believe that was what he paid.

I'll sell it for that once I'm bored with it.

Looks like score!  I almost passed out when I bought 28 Nosler brass yesterday...

[Jolten]

Oh snap... I thought this was in the classified section

Shoots under 1/2" inch with factory ammo.

Sweet rifle.  Couple questions -

What optic is that?
How would you compare the recoil of the 28 to other cartridges?

Vortex HS-T, 6-24x50, VMR-1 MOA reticle. Sold the scope yesterday. Still kicking around what optics I'm going to go with.

The recoil is in between a .308 Win and a 30-06. The muzzle brake reduces it quite a bit considering it's a super magnum.

Made a quick trip into town and picked up some dies, powder and some Hornady 162gr ELD-X's. Should be a wicked combo at over 3300 fps.

I threw the dice on this rifle, actually two times for me. The fact that it's a X-Bolt and being a 28 Nosler. I liked everything about it especially the accuracy with factory ammo. 1/2 moa with a factory rifle and factory ammo at the Performance level of the 28 Nosler is impressive.

So I sold this rifle and ordered a X-Bolt Hells Canyon speed, long range with the McMillan stock in 28 Nosler. Swung a smoking deal on a Leupold Mark 6 3-18. I have a few jobs to finish up and then I will have time to get it all together and work up some handloads.

Oh man, that's exciting.  Let us know how the rifle and custom loads work out.  Would love to see some clover leaf targets shot at longgggg range.

I have been considering a similar setup, comparing to going with a custom. looking forward to your results. I have 2 Brownings right now and they both shoot incredible.
