WTB 280ai hunting rifle - 09/13/22
I’m looking to add a 280ai to the safe. The Kimber Montana or something similar. Must be threaded for a suppressor

I have a Browning X-Bolt Western Hunter that I’ve never fired (NIB) that I would let go.

I've got a used legendary arms works professional 2 I think it's called. Picked it up a few years ago off the used rack at cabellas. It has a threaded barrel for a break and a thread protector. I haven't taken it to see how it shoots yet and I guess some of these were good but some run of them had issues. I'd probably need to get it to the range to make sure it'd not a turd before I sold it to a fire member.
It's stainless and has a good feel to with a decent carbon I believe stock. I had a great shooting 24" Christiansen Ridgeline that someone talked me out of last year. That rifle shot well. I have a 22" criterion 8 twist remage and gauges in the sporter weight I'm needing to finish and get to the range. I always seem to have a 280 AI sporter around but someone often talks me out of them. Hard to beat even a plain 280 on a 700 with a lighter sporter barrel.
I let two good kimbers go, a Montana and a hunter because I wanted more mag box length. The Christiansen flung empties into my huge side turrets which was an annoyance to me although it shot great. This LAW looks like the extractor is in the right place for a 700 clone to eject them flatter so if it shoots I will be tempted to keep it.
My remage is headed the right direction because I know the 700 will eject flatter, the barrel is the weight and length I want and has plenty of twist. I almost just went full custom on a defiance ANTi but wasn't sure on the ejection so I stayed with one I know will work.

Not a Montana or the like, but I have blued Rem 700 barreled action w/squared receiver and bolt face, fluted bolt, that has a std sporter contour S/S 280 Rem bbl that was rechambered to 280 AI, not threaded, that gonna head down the road one of these days. Gotta start thinning the herd - or so I'm told.
