1:9 twist. Elevation would be 500-2500 feet probably. Live in the mid Atlantic region

Thanks. I'm going to try and get this to where I can use the mag. For my purposes I would like to have it available. This will be a hunting rifle where I might be in a stand inside the woods or on the edge of a field set up. Kind of a do all gun if you will. I've only tried the one bullet so...

Well, accuracy wasn't really the issue. Getting my cartridge to fit in the magazine was my issue. First attempt yielded .5" at 100. I think I have potential but need to find the best combination for my rifle and my needs

Thank you. The other magazine well isn't an option because the action was cut for a detachable magazine. I think I will order a box of those bullets to try.

I did .010, .040, .080 and .120 off the lands. I was unaware that you could find another node going deeper

Problem is we did not realize the action I bought was set up for a box magazine. Live and learn.

I had a 280 ackley built 700 action and brux barrel I started load development with Berger 168 vld's and h4350. Started with a mild load of 50gr of h4350 with that bullet. I did the Berger suggested test with the vlds. It seems to prefer around the .040 off the lands. However, this loaded...

Well. I made a decision right or maybe wrong. Did a lot of soul searching and figured I was over thinking this selection. I ordered a luepold vx3i 4.5-14 50mm, side focus, cds and 30mm tube. Scope comes with a free custom turret when I get things figured out. I've had good luck with luepold and...

Wow. You can't see that one at all

Does your reticle get too small at low power? The ffp scope I looked through (can't remember which one) , the reticle was very small at its lowest magnification especially for a low light situation

Would like to stay within $750-800. SFP as it will be used close up and long distance. I'm wanting to get custom turrets. MOA reticle as I will spend too much time thinking about mils compared to inches

I will check those out. Also should say I'm not wanting a really heavy scope either. However I see this nightforce is a little lighter that the other models.

I'm going to be getting a 280 ackley built very soon whenever the barrel shows up. Boyd's laminate stock ( heritage) 700 action 24" no5 contour fluted barrel Thinking it will be used realistically inside of 750 yards and occasionally have a little fun out to 1000 yards when I have the...

I think we are doing the same thing. I think I'm narrowing down want I want now. Rem 700 action trued 24" #5 contour fluted I was going to go with a synthetic stock but I have decided on a laminate Hoping to stay in the 9-9.5lb with scope

280 Remington?
