I told my wife that I might just get stupid and have the new Rigby company build me a Lindon Best. I expect I'll be sleeping in the garage. Nope,that's where her new car is going. Most likely,you'll sleep in the doghouse.

Yeah, that's probably true!
"An archer sees how far he can be from a target and still hit it, a bowhunter sees how close he can get before he shoots." It is certainly easy to use that same line of thinking with firearms. -- Unknown

Elk, we don't even have a dog anymore. Now that's scary!

As promised on this thread, a new Boddington Leopard at the range today. About 1.5 MOA for the first trip with 140 NP's and 150 Sierra GK's using H4350. I look forward to more good time at both benches. No chrony today.

For now I'll say that it has good fit and finish. I like the matte finish with the Circassian walnut. I'll get some more pics up as time allows.

Anything a 7X57 can do a 280 can do better!!! Have a 7x57 that'll duplicate the .280. The rifle that load was shot in. CZ 550 American 7x57.

John...I think it was the same way that I determined a .270 is gay....

And anything a .280 can do a .280 AI, 7mm SAUM, 7mm WSM, 7mm Remington Magnum, 7mm Mashburn, 7mm Weatherby, 7mm STW, 28 Nosler or 7mm RUM can do faster.
Better is another question entirely.

Maybe there was genuine logic in the original magnum being a booze bottle?
