All around nice rifle!

Well done rifle! That is the best weight for me also with a 280AI all up--7.5#. Nothing with 4 legs is safe...

Very nice looking rifle!
I'd be very upset with 2" shank. Even more so if I asked for a certain length.

All around nice rifle! Same here. This is my only rifle with fluted barrel. I will probably not do it again. But thought it would be cool to have one.

Ahh. Life's just too short. I'm pleased with the weight and balance, so I'm good with it. And since it's cerakoted and I'd lose an inch of barrel length if the barrel was set back, I didn't make them fix it. They offered, but I didn't want to mess with it. And the stock actually turned out nicer than I think the KS would have.

Oh you're right and it's a sweet rifle. Life is way too short to worry bout how long of a shank we have...haha.
On the above H4831sc note.....say that's a good powder under the 162's?

Beautiful rifle, you will love the 280AI. I restocked my 280 AI with a Micky Edge this year and I love it. Took about 8 oz. off my previous set-up but still balances well.

257, I don't know about the 4831 under 162's but it works wonderfully under 150 NBT. When your 162's dry up don't back away from the 150's, they will spoil ya.

Very nice indeed! Didn't want to drop it into one of those original KS's you have?
