Sounds like it'd be a daisy in a Tikka long box. I'd AI it if I were to ever build one, but that's just because I hate trimming brass.

3100 with a Bob is screaming. That's about what a standard 25-06 load will do. Makes me want one.

They're fantastic bullets. I also used the 143 in a 280AI for my mule deer last year. He dropped at the shot. It was a frontal heart shot and the bullet exited out on the inside of one of the back legs. All the petals were somewhere in the intestines. No meat was wasted at all, except the heart...

It still needs cerakote on the barrel, but it's done! I'm currently inletting the KS stock for the barrel channel and the BDL, so this Christensen Arms Mesa stock is being used for now.

I'm a sucker for curly maple in all varieties, but this is beautiful in its own class. Good pick up. The fact it's flavored in 264 is also very appealing to me

Never used. Bought from a dude on ebay for a rebuild of my rifle, but ended up finding one that better served my purposes. 29 oz. 13.5 LOP. Long action. ADL $350 TYD or best offer.

Godspeed on your journey to recovery

The factory Nosler 115s always have the cannelure; always have. It's for the factory crimp. They perform just the same as without. I wouldn't worry about it.

Looks to me straight like a 6.5-06 AI. Shoulder's 'round the same height as the 25-06's.

Go for it. It ain't the same, but I suppose it's along the lines of a 120 in the 280AI, which is like lighting. The AB will hold up to those velocities.

That sure is scooting right along.

Do it

Well, I went and dropped the stock off at the smith yesterday and after trying to find it for several minutes, he remembered that they cut and chambered the thing already! My indecision was for nothing.

Moses in heaven that thing shoots. And the shooter did just as well. Good on you.

I'll take them. PM incoming

I had the 1.5-5 VX-3HD. It was a good scope. I had it on the WRONG rifle, though, so I sent it down the road. You wouldn't go wrong with it. Good looking gun. I recommend getting that sucker bedded because even my 25-06 MkII had a split laminated stock.

I always thought an Arisaka would make a good sporter action. Haven't seem many of them made into that though. Good looking rig.

True that. Have you tested what kind of velocity loss you get when doing so?

That’s exactly the crossroads I’m at

From what I understand, they re-released the 280 Rem with higher pressures after a bit because they knew their mistake. It’s now at 60k PSI, still under the 270’s 65k PSI rating. The AI is rated at 65k PSI as well, which also gives it a longer leg up on the Rem in terms of performance. That...
