Title: High mountain hunting supply rifle build
Post by: mrolen on June 21, 2013, 02:44:31 PM: Here is a rifle I just finished up Remmy 700 action trued up shilen barrel chambered to .280AI oversized recoil lug tuned factory trigger bell and Carlson stock, the metal was finished in black cerakote and bedded to the stock using Devcon. Shoots great this group was with factory hornady 280 rem it measures .176" center to center. This was the second third and fourth shot out of the rifle.

Does a .280AI shoot .280Rem ammo?

Post by: h20hunter on June 21, 2013, 03:19:27 PM: Now that I go back and look again and again at that rifle that seems like a very reasalbe price for such a shooter. I'm no long range marksmen nor am I all knowing on rifles but that seems like a good price.

Post by: mrolen on June 21, 2013, 03:22:07 PM: yes you fire 280 rem and it fire forms the standard 280 rem into 280 AI. And yes that is a very reasonable price!

Title: Re: High mountain hunting supply rifle build
Post by: mrolen on June 21, 2013, 03:29:10 PM: As of now i do not. There is a .223 bolt gun in the works 16" barrel threaded with detachable mag, should be around That price point.

How much does it weigh?

I would take a guess as it sits in the above pic, with the bipod and without optics. Close to 10lbs?
Title: Re: High mountain hunting supply rifle build
Post by: mrolen on June 23, 2013, 11:38:13 AM: Optics bipod and stock pack 12.5 lbs

Goes in looking one way, comes out looking another!!

Post by: yorketransport on June 23, 2013, 07:52:18 PM: Are these guns being built to order, or are you building guns which you think will sell quickly? I would love to walk into a shop and see something like that sitting at the counter. :tup:
