WTB Looking for a 280 ackley

[mediocre_hunter]

Recently cleaned out some room in the safe and I'm in the market for a 280 ackley improved, or maybe another 30-06. Something fairly light, preferably with a synthetic stock. I'm located in NE Ohio. Let me know what you have. Thanks.

define fairly light. rifle only at 5lbs, 6 lbs, 7lbs? everyone has a different idea of light. fairly light to me is 5.75-6.25 lbs.

 

[mediocre_hunter]

Preferably 7 lbs or under I guess. Not looking for a Sendero type rifle.

Have a supergrade model 70 30-06 in maple. Might be a bit heavy but it's a beautiful gun. I could use another custom action and I don't shoot this one much. It's chopped to 22" and threaded 1/2"

I hadn't thought about a Savage, but how does it shoot?

I've got a browning Xbolt thats in perfect condition, less than 100 rounds down the barrel, and shoots really good. I havent really considered selling it but I would if the price was right.

I was coming to tell him to look yours up. My dad has a Jarrett in 7mm mag and it's a hammer.

Weatherby just came out with a 307 Alpine CT that chambers the 280 AI. Not sure what you’re looking to spend

I've been looking hard at those Weatherbys, the 307 and the mark v backcountry. Hard to find any shops here in Ohio that have any in stock to physically hold one though. They sure seem like sweet rifles!
