Beautiful rifle. It's so good to see a straight .280 Rem, I haven't been without one in 30 years. My current one sits in a Manners EH-1 and shoots 162 Amax @ .2 - .3" also. Enjoy!
 
Here is a video of the rifle shooting 636 yards at coyote target, 1,000 yards, and 1,525 yards at a 18" wide target and 32"x32" target. I also took it out to 1,780 yards and did hit the 32x32 plate but because of the cold my camera died. I will be heading back to VT to do the shoot over again but at a even 1,800 yards. There was 1,525 inches of bullet drop at 1 miles and had a speed of 750fps on impact.
