280AI "custom" on vintage small ring 98 - 11/11/12
Hello Gents:
Anyone building or have built a 280AI on a standard 98 action?
Have a g33/40 waiting for one in 2013. Not interested in fancy wood or a showpiece--will be all hunting gun...have no problem spending a dime or two on function & accuracy...
Got pics, who was your smith if you used one, any issues? Would appreciate any info (except caliber arguments) and PM me if you want, please.
Not my first dance...do have a custom or two on small rings including a very satisfying Westrom/Gentry, which nothing else has quite measured up to...
Action has been ground, D&T, & has a Wisner or Gentry safety on it already. Thinking 7.5# scoped w/4 rounds would be about right and a Brown would facilitate that.
Got a 7mag to get ready this AM--beautiful sunny here today for a change...and that is gonna change real soon, too...:)
Thanks,
tom
