Wanted a lefty bolt gun, wanted a 280ai, found one on the classifieds a while back. I thought it was a longshot but I got a deal on it and put some nice glass on. Figured it was worth a shot.
I loaded up about 6 or 7 different loads all with 160gr Partitions and hit the range. These were my results at 100yd. Not sure I could ask for much more. The worst group was barely over 1". I tried 4831sc and RL23.
Is the bolt the absolute smoothest ever, no. But who cares if it's reliable and shoots like that. Can't wait to do some seating depth testing and then some 10rd groups. I have guns that are MUCH more expensive that don't shoot half this well.
