I wanted a new 7mm custom, so I had one built around the 280 AI. It's not a magnum, but it does everything I have asked it to. Never failed to fetch game, and a ton of fun to shoot. It seems to want to shoot everyrhing really well, which makes load development fun. Current hunting load is 150gn...

I had a custom built over the winter on the 280 AI and its one of the more accurate rifles I own. I have settled on the 150gn ABLR as my bullet of choice. It averages shooting that bullet in the 3's, and best group with that bullet was in the ones. 280AI seems to be a relatively easy round to...

Willams Bottom Metal. It's a fine work of art. It's made from steel and not aluminum like the Remington. Word of caution though. If you are ordering a stock, make sure you tell them which bottom metal you are using. I failed to double check my order when I ordered my manners stock, but luckly...

Thanks, had a blast. It's easy to have fun when you're behind the trigger of an accurate rifle.

It really wouldn't do us any good in my opinion to try and describe to you what to look for with a bore scope. I'm not being rude to you at all, it's just that with the questions you are asking, and some of the comments you are making, it's obvious you haven't to much experience with the...

It's a CED M2 chronograph display screen. That way when a knuckle head (me) shoots it, and I came close yesterday with the winds being what they were. I'll only have to replace the damaged piece and not the whole chrony. I like it better than my last one, but I'm thinking of upgrading to the...

Finally got around to shooting my custom 280AI built by Eddie Fosnaugh, and I'm pleased to say that this rifle is accurate as hell. Eddie builds one heck of a rifle. I'm working up a load using RL26 and the Nosler 150gn ABLR. I'm using Nosler Brass, and Fed 210 primers. COAL set to 3.340...

I'm getting ready to start load development with that powder in my 280 AI. I'll be shooting a 26 krieger and running the 150gn ABLR. if I dont like what I see, I'll give the 162 ELDX a run. I just finished loading some this evening. I started with 58gns of R26 and worked up to 61gns in half...

I have two bullets I want to try. 150gn ABLR, and 162gn ELDX. reloader 26 is one of the powders I have I want to try. I also have IMR 7828, H4831sc, and sone R17. Surely I can find something to work.

Thats not my lathe. I wish it was though. Belongs to the smith who built the rifle. I guess he's comfortable with a three Jaw, and I'm not in the possition to tell him how he should perform his craft. He turns out a nice rig at any rate. After looking at the other pics he sent me while the...

It's a Manners T3. After handling the Manners and then the HTG I liked the ergonomics of the Manners better. Personal preference. I think it turned out Sweet!

Looks like your question has already been answered, but thanks for the look and the congrats. I've done several simicustoms, but this is the first complete build I had done with all new parts. It's very time consuming waiting and waiting for the stock, waiting and waiting for the barrel etc etc...

Eddie Fosnaugh of Fosnaugh custom rifles has finally completed my build. It has been a long long wait, but thank goodness it's finally over. He was great to work with, and his work top notch. All there is left to do is mount my Nightforce and burn some powder. Can't wait to start load...

Eddie sent me another batch of pictures of some of the stock work and coating. Should be doing final assembly and test fire. Ships today. He said he would send me another picture after he gets it all together. My wait is nearly over.

I just received a call from Eddie, and after test firing tomorow, my rifle will be shipped. I should receive it some time next week. Guessing based on information eddie gave me, final weight with scope should be a touch over 15 pounds. Should ride the bags at the range very well. Looks like...
