I had the chamber pushed out a little when I had it built. 40thou
You had them chamber it headspaced .040" long? Custom reamer with shoulder .040 forward? Or just the throat?

Yeah, I'm just trying to understand where the thought that vertical grips are just for prone comes from. The only thing I can think of is they may not be as handy just for carrying and thus slower to shoulder? But once shouldered i can't imagine how having a more natural hand position for pulling the trigger would ever be a negative. Seems like if they were an impediment for snap shooting they wouldn't put a pistol grip on every single rifle designed for combat.
There is a reason that no vertical grip upland or goose gun exists.....because they're ergonomically disgusting to flow into on the fly, and nobody has time to set up a tripod to shoot a passing bird.

Short term plan is a fall hunt out west, after that I will likely at the very least, have the throat reamed to allow me to get into the heavy game with it. It may require rebarreling at that point, but I have options.Why the long action if you're going to use lightweight bergers? Even if you have a SAAMI throat, something like the 200.20x would probably work great.

Interesting.. be curious if anyone has tried it on game.View attachment 287001
The 20x has the making of a fine meat maker. I milled this one back to see what makes em' tick.
I think you will be elated, I certainly hope so!Just a little follow up since I started this thread...this is what I submitted as a build sheet to the gunsmith for my medium weight (sub 9) /medium range (sub 1000) 280AI. Once I get it done, I’ll follow up with some pics.
