A local shop has the new Tupperware kimber hunters on sale for $660. I had to go down and see if they had a creedmoor to tempt me with. They said sorry the creedmoors went first. Then I noticed one on the rack that was longer than the others. It turned out to be a 280 ai. I couldn't resist and ended up picking it up. I think it's a lot of rifle for $660. When it warms up I'll see how it shoots.

Darn right that's a lot of rifle for $660 .

Looking forward to seeing your report on the rifle.

I have a 280AI in the Montana

It's as good as it gets cartridge wise in the 3.3" action class

That's a great price!

Agree with Tedhorn on the chambering too.

Be curious to see how it does for you.

Didn't realize they were shipping LA Hunters! I also have the Montana in 280AI, great shooter and great to carry.

Man that is about $100 cheaper than they are going for around here. Great deal.

Like everyone else said, very curious as to how it works for you.

Quite a few for sale on gunbroker. Some for $675 BIN

I was looking at one this morning. Not sure what to make of the molded trigger-guard? Just doesn't look quite right to me!
Ah well, as long as it shoots and carries well...

Did you weigh it? How much heavier than the short action?

Bb, congrats on your new rifle. Lets hope it shoots great and put a big smile on your face.

I owned a Montana in 280 ai for awhile that shot ok, a friend talked me out of it because he was really trying to find one for his boy and there where none around at the time. I planned on picking up another one day and then I saw this hunter.
