I have a .280 AI now, so this one is up for sale:









The circular blotches that show in the next two pics are from the camera, they are certainly not on the rifle. I'll get better pics to replace these later:

There are a few very small marks on the barrel:

The factory action screws have been replaced with hex keys as I do with most of my rifles:

It is a solid rifle in nice shape. The recoil lug and chamber have been bedded in Acraglass and the forend has been stiffened with epoxy and fiberglass mesh. The trigger has been cleaned up. I'd say it breaks around 3 lbs, maybe a hair under. It will ship in the original factory box. The round count is 311. The Bushnell Elite 4200 3-9x40 will be included for $760 shipped/insured (scope removed and shipped separately, BC covers included). The rifle with rings only for $575 shipped/insured. USPS MO only for payment. I'd have to check with my FFL about CA sales.

that rifle looks to be a Hawkeye, am I correct?

Sorry, I thought I had that in the description. It is a Hawkeye.

How's it shoot after all the work you did?

It shoots 154 SST's into .75" - 1.25". I couldn't get it to shoot 150 Partitions better than about 1.5" - 1.75".

Here's a sampling of targets:

Looks like a good shooting rifle. Excellent listing with good honest looking targets. Good deal on a nice rifle too. Bedding looks great. That's how I'd do it...Bump for a great do it all rifle right there...

Up from the depths...

If I wasn't broke and awash in 7mm-08s....
