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...

In reality I’ll probably just take this advice because it’ll be too late before I decide LOL

I said it recently, but there’s something sexy to me about a 24” 280 Rem as well. Don’t know why

I thought about 7mm ERI (7mm Express Remington Improved) if I were to go with a 280AI

My rifle's at the smith getting its new barrel put on, but I'm almost changing my mind on the cartridge I want. The smith has it down as a 280AI again, but I think having a 24" 280 Rem would be neat. I could have it engraved "7mm Express" as well. I know that the 280AI has "mo' powah baby," but...

It’s quickly becoming my favorite powder. It’s right in between 4350 and 483, meters well, and produces pretty good velocity with less powder used vs 4350

Ah yeah I was going way overkill with my answer. This one is probably better.

You could sand it down and repaint it with webbing. There are a few tutorials here and there online about it.
