I had a 280AI Kimber Montana
I wanted to love that rifle but it threw holes all over the paper Not uncommon for Kimber. Which Reupold(s) were you ladies driving? Hint. Last "bad" Kimber I purchased and it HILARIOUSLY had a Reupold aboard. Hint. Besides the schit Reupold,it had schit mounts,that were assembled akin to the likes of you Drooling Dumbfhuqks' "abilities". Hint. Correct assembly verified,kiss,find pressure and rock on. Hint. Though obviously RPM limited ala OEM,there are worst things than a 87 V-Max. It might make it another 100rds,before it becomes another 7" RPM Speedmire for 90 Beer Cans. Nod pencil necks like you "understand",as you GoogleFu a FIRST fhuqking clue. Hint. Fhuqking LAUGHING!................ Ha ha no dated signature? 50 yards?

I assume you "fixed the problematic front base screw that was bottoming out on the barrel threads? And your oem twist won't ever be worth a crap for your "beer cans" cause they won't even "kiss" or smooch or whatever the hell you call it in the 243 a d fit your mag. Course a kimber might be different, who the heck knows. Your speed mire of a pigs ear is a waste of a good barrel when all you needed was Remy 700 in long action and a decent barrel that you haven't molested with a saws all. Let me have it stick. I need some entertainment!

I’ve owned 3 280AI’s . First two rechambered 280 rem. Rem 700 and FN Mauser, neither shot outstanding so when Kimber brought the ss Montana out in the 280 AI I got one, and it luckily shoots well. All I shoot on it are 140 grain nosler accubonds with good success on deer and elk . Hot load of reloader 19. Mine is not ported and recoil is tolerable. Weight makes for a easy carry. Get nosler brass,don’t mess around reforming standard 280.

I've got a Savage Ultralight in 280AI that's been okay. 120 TTSX, 160 Accubonds, and 162 ELDM have shot 3/4 MOA for five shot groups after work ups. You can grab a Bergara .700 diameter muzzle brake for $50-60 bucks that looks factory. I had to wait longer between shots as the barrel warms up quickly and it has the typical Savage clunky bolt feel but it's been okay. Bedded a Stockys carbon fiber stock to it.

I looked at a Savage Ultralite hard. But i wanted a 24 inch barrel. My new Browning came with a Muzzle brake. Today i ordered the hawg muzzle brake by Browning.

Can you have a plain Jane 280 reamed out to AI without problems?? Yes, but if you want a SAAMI chamber you'll need to have the barrel set back one thread. This is due to the fact that in order to assure proper headspace, Ackley spec'd the chambers to give a chush-fit on the standard 280 Rem cartridge. Nosler followed this spec, so the factory Nosler SAAMI chamber has the datum a bit shorter (.004" as I recall) than the 280Rem cartridge. There are many rechambered 280AI rifles (rechambered without setback) that cannot use the SAAMI 280AI brass or ammo without fireforming. If I had a nice Kimber BGR 280Rem rifle, I would think long and hard about rechambering it to 280AI.
FÜCK Jeff_O!

Shoulder aren't perfectly sharp, but it'll save you some barrel/throat wear.
