New build 280 AI

[88acres]

If you had the choice of any equipment what stock? What bottom metal? Trigger? And go!

Build is on a blueprinted 700 action and a Proof Research Sendero CF barrel.

I want a manners stock….

I love seeing how many 280 AI threads there are on this forum. Mine has become my go to rifle.
If you're going with a manners I would suggest their new lrh stock. I just ordered one for my next build.

I'm excited about the cartridge… have always been a magnum shooter… but I like what the AI has to offer. I know its gonna shelf my 7mm Rem Mag in a lot of applications and will give me a break from my work horse 300 win mag. Love to reload so looking forward to dialing this one in. I will definitely look at the LRH.

Do you like the trigger tech?

Yes, I have it in a 700, a model 7 and both new APR builds, after feeling one along side a Timney, there was no comparison for me. Even the Primary felt better, but I had the special installed in the 700, 7 and the APR 7mm-08, the Diamond in the next APR build.

It has shelved my magnums as well. If you decide you want a Trigger tech trigger PM me and I will help you out get one at a deal.
