WTS/WTT 280 AI Custom - Zermatt + Alterra + Proof

[fightthenoise]

This gun was built during COVID and since then my preferences have shifted to short barrels and short actions. This gun just doesn't get any use anymore. It has seen load work up, piled up a few whitetail and mule deer over a couple seasons, then sat in the safe. Specs and money into the gun are below:

I lucked into a blem barrel for near nothing, and I figured I'd build a rifle around it. It has a mile of freebore. I'm seating 180 ELD at the boattail junction and still jumping them .170". The round count is 239 rounds, so the barrel has a ton of life left in it. Decades if you're just hunting. But you won't be able to seat bullets close to the lands unless you have a gunsmith punch out the chamber to a longer 7mm cartridge.

The gun shoots very well with factory and hand loads. I can share load data and include Redding dies if you plan to hand load.

$2750 $2600 for scoped rifle via certified bank check.

It looks like you’ve got enough shank to potentially set back a thread and re-chamber 280 AI again, too?

Either way, very nice rifle!
