Partagas, I have a 280AI and I'm getting 3250fps out of a 26" tube with a 140GR. BT. The accuracy is .5 MOA. That's real close to the 7 mag. with probably 30% less recoil.

Derek , just took two exotics Friday, Corsican Ram and a Spanish Goat. Shooting a 300WSM with 190SMK's. They didn't take a step after the gun went off. Exit hole on the Ram was about 4 inch's. See SMK's won't kill
Boyd Heaten shot this same bullet for matches he pushed them around 2,800 and for hunting around 2,950, not sure about barrel length but I beleive it was about the same length as what you stated.
Leupold\'s Illuminated Reticle durability
I'm thinking of buying one of the Mark 4's in a 4.5-14x50 Illuminated MIL-DOT, but not sure about duribility of the Illuminated reticle. What do you guy's think, Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
I also just received my 300 WIN.Mag. that Chris built, only one word SSSSSweet. Only got to shoot about 15 rounds and the best 3 round group was in the 2's......thanks Chris
Something must being going on with the 4-14x50, I had the same problem, but it looked like tooling shavings. Anyway sent the scope back to the dealer and they replace it. Haven't had a chance to try the new one yet
