This is an accurate ordnance built 280ai I picked up second hand with original build sheet, test target and owners manual. I sent it back to ao for some upgrades and a clean bill of health and then took it a little further.
Specs-
Accurate ordnance mars hunter action (defiance ultralight)
bartlein #3 9tw crowned at 24" with straight flutes.
manners sl stock, 1" pad, flush cups left and studs bottom
New since I've owned it-
triggertech special Trigger
Hawkins bdl
Hawkins rings cerakoted to match
newly throated for 168 vldh
cerakote elite smoke with black accents on metal
fresh cut crown
stock coated

Was reported as sub 300 rds by previous owner if I remember right. I did some minimal load work up with it (maybe 30 rds) after new throat. Some new inlet work done as well, it's a pretty slick rig. There's a bit of a backstory on it and a million pics available to the buyer if interested. For reasons beyond my understanding I am about finished building another 280ai and don't need this one anymore. Scope and bipod not included in price.

$3200 to ffl in lower 48, would consider doing some trading on this one. Mostly interested in quality Moa scopes, maybe a spotter. Don't need much for rifles at the moment but open to hear offers. A magnum or micro build may catch my eye. May be listed elsewhere, thanks for looking!

Didn't bring chrono today but last time I went 64gr was about 2900 even. Running cci250 magnum primers.
Forgot to mention I'm trying out the new brass hornady makes in this one, no pressure signs with that load either.
