3-10X42 av to go on my 280rem CDL SS FL
I had it on there before and took it off for another rifle and thinking about re-mounting it but not sure if it's quite enough for a 280. It won't be 1000k by no means but maybe half that for deer/mulie.

Let's try some old school. My father's 1903A3 Springfield pictured here after a thorough cleaning. He picked it up as a barreled action for $18.50 after WWII. I'll bet it has had 1500 rounds through it, but still pus three 180 grain Remington Corel-Lokts within an inch at 100. I've not been able to develop a load that it shoots better so why I stopped trying. The stories it could tell.

Have the same rifle (inherited). How did you get the scope mounted? I'd love to put one on but don't want to permanently alter the rifle.

Yeah extractor issues. My 721 .06 has same problem. Ugh. Don't know if I'll get it worked on or just keep it as is.
On my 721, 270, the head of the brass was hitting the edge of the extractor, near the ejector, and causing the cartridge to stop short of going into battery. My temporary fix is to taper the head of the brass quite a bit to push the extractor "spring leg" back into its slot in the bolt head. There is a tiny taper on the brass case head, I just made the taper much more pronounced. Did 20 rounds, all load and extract, so I will shoot them, and, reload them specifically for this 721.

Ruger M-77 tang safety. .270 winchester 2.5 x 10 Vortex Viper. I glass bedded the stock and free floated the barrel but otherwise same gun I purchased in 1981. Shoots sub MOA and loves Reloader 26 and 150 grain Nosler Partitions.
The perfect set up and bullet around here too. High desert. 150 gr partition. Going 2700 to 2800.
 
Here are my 2 custom jobs - both on Stiller actions. The one in the McMillan Hunter stock is in 6.5-06 and the other oe (in the HS) is in 7 Rem Mag.

5 shot group at 100 yards and another 5 shot group (was verifying my drop) at 500 yards with a slight 5 mph cross wind with the 7 mag.

300roy: 200.20 Berger's
257roy: 115 ABs(plan on changing bullets)
270win: 130 ballistic silver tips
25-06: 100 barns Vortex(plan on changing bullets)
7mm Rem Mag: 140 ballistic silver tips, changing to 150s
7mm WSM: 140 ballistic silver tips

For NE Louisiana white tails, the ballistic silver tips work well, and typically shot well
