Remington 700 280AI

[JD338]

I got my M700 280AI back from the gunsmith. I had the action dropped into a LSS stock which was pilar bedded.
The action has been blueprinted. The barrel is a Hart #5 flutted 24".
Scope is a Mark 4 4.5x14PR with factory M1 dials installed.

Well that's about as nice a rifle as a fellow could wish for! I suspect that you're about to be shooting with very good accuracy. Good looking rifle, Hart makes a great barrel. How's the balance & weight with that fairly sturdy barrel on there?

Let us know how it shoots... :grin:

I just purchased a rem 700 lss 50th aniversary ltd edition in 280. It shot quarter sized groups with remington factory loads.
I neck sized, turned the neck, and loaded 160 ab"s with RL22 and can't wait to get back to the range.

Just kidding, I had to say it.

Looks to me like Hart makes a mighty fine barrel (no surprise there) and Nosler makes a mighty fine bullet. No surprise there either! Great shooting! :grin:

I went out to the range this afternoon to do some shooting. Too windy to go long so I just shot 100 yds.
Here is a pic of my best group with my 280AI and the 160 gr AB.

3 shots outside spread is .376", .092" c to c.
My second best group measured outside spread .523", .239" c to c.
If the wind dies down, I'll shoot 200, 300, and 400 yds.

Damn nice group there Jim! Cant wait to see how it does at longer ranges.

 

[honkeetonkin]

A lot of varmint rigs dont shoot that well , awsome.

JD,

Thats a bit better than I can do with my Sako 280. The question is . . . is it the rifle or the shooter? Maybe a little bit of both :lol:
