Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles 280AI - Single and Looking for ❤️…

In the loony world of gun ownership, sometimes things just don’t make sense. Like selling an exceptionally handsome rifle that also happens to shoot great.

Keeping this rifle won’t affect me negatively. I guess that’s a good place to be coming from, since I’m considering selling it.

The facts are - I’m running out of years to put it into hunting opportunities that it was built for. I’d like to think someone else would enjoy hunting it. No tears, should it walk away.

I figured I’d do a ‘Show & Tell’ on the rifle here before I officially put it up for sale.

I think I had it built in 2019 or 2020 by Alamo Precision Rifle. It was called ‘The Classic Hunter’.

It has a straight fluted 25” 1-9 Brux barrel measured at the ‘Gill’ type brake that is removable. Barrel Cerakote is mimic blueing.

The Rem 700 clone action is case hardened, stamped APR, but made by Thompson Leh. Specs on the receiver are linked below. Bolt is spiral fluted.

The bottom metal is a BDL with a TriggerTech Primary that’s at a crisp 2lbs.

The stock is a McMillan Hunter McWalnut with both flush cups and swivel stud. Red recoil pad as suggested by SKane.

I have a soft cheek riser attached to the comb. It is made by a guy named Michael @ www.God-a-Grip.com. It’s attached with an adhesive that is removable without harming the stock. I have several of these comb pads on other builds. I have removed them without any issues or damage to the stock.

I would consider selling the rifle and the Zeiss V4 6-24x50 as a turn-key. The scope has a ballistic turret that was built for boxed Nosler 140 grain BT’s. I never did any load work for this rifle after seeing how good it shot the 140gr BT. The reticle is ZMOA-1

Rifle weighs 7.8lbs naked. The Zeiss V4 weighs 24oz. This rifle has under 40 rounds on it. It’s in perfect condition and would ship in its hard case.

If interested. Feel free to PM me to chat about a price.

Apologies if anyone is red-assed over this. In a perfect world, I’d rather see this build go to a participating Fire member than a classified cowboy. -Beav

Now for what it did today on the range, which is the same it’s always done since it was zeroed @ 100.

Cold bore, then two more rounds fired this morning.

Did McMillan do the red pad? My dong just twitched. Very nice rifle!!”

I had APR remove the McM black pad and install a red one.

Damn that is good looking. I have been pushed over the edge by a red pad before. Good call on that detail.

I dig the cheek pad. Going to order one.

I glued a mouse pad on a rifle. Worked for a bit then started coming loose. It’s taped on now with hockey tape😂

That's nice.

Sweet rifle Beav. That’s a solid hunting rifle.

Nice and I don’t blame you for putting it here first.

Very nice...Let me know what you come up with as far as price goes.

I would have a hard time parting with that one.

Very nice!

very nice rifle, you might want to rethink that and keep that fine rifle ????? Pete53

That is one of his better rifles for sure. It would be hard to turn it down if he really does sell it.

That is a sexy rifle Beav!

PM’d you.

Thanks, everyone for liking this rifle.

It’s definitely one of the better builds I’ve had done for looks and precision.

But unless I start buying multiple hunts across the US each year. This rig might only see two or three hunts before I retire myself from hunting ungulates, and that doesn’t seem right for a Classic Hunter.

Oh my. I said I was done buying but that one has me thinking.

Son of a…

Good call.

Nice rig.... unless it really is going to a friend I recommend separating the scope and rifle.... it almost always increases value 👍
