Lots of fun, but would be even more fun if it were left handed like me!

This looks to have been a professional or at lease semi-professionally done conversion. Phenomenal Timeny trigger, Timney safety, and Japanese Nikon scope sighted in for 25 yards with 230gr FMJ. Finish looks like Duracoat or something similar. In my option getting the metal Midnight Blue Cerakoted would be a 100x improvement.

Feeds smooth once you get a feel for it and makes a ragged hole at 25 yards. $700 shipped to the lower 48 in a hard case.

Very interesting little rifle. Looks like it was set up for a suppressor.
 
Yeah I posted a thread in the .375 and up forum that has a video of a guy shooting one suppressed. It sounds unreal!
 
I'll take it if Jason passes
 
Please keep us updated on any kills with this thing.
Will do - got a cull hunt coming up in January. I'm thinking some pigs and doe may be in for a quiet surprise.

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)

This compares favorably to 7 Rem Mag. with less powder & recoil.

I know that this thread is more than a year old but as a new member I thought I would pass along my .280AI loading.
I am shooting F Open long range rather than hunting but here is what is working for me and I have managed a 198.14 at 800 meters.
That is for 20 shots. The 14 are X's which is a 5" circle.
