SOLD

Action: Defiance Anti, nitrided
Barrel: 24" Bartlein Carbon #4 , 1:8.5, chambered in 280 AI
Round count: 950
Stock: Manners LRH with mini chassis
Bottom Metal: Hawkins Hunter with 2x mags
Muzzle brake: Hawkins 2-port

Brass: 190 pieces of 3x & 4x fired Peterson
Dies: Redding master hunter set.

$2500 shipped for all the above. Would use the shipmygun service. Money order, check, or PayPal f&f.

All work done by Zach Tanned at Misery Customs. The rifle shoots really well with 180 and 185gr berger hybrids and h1000. It has been hunted with and shot, so has a few scuff marks. I'm selling due to an eye injury forcing me to shoot wrong handed.
It weighs right around 7.5 lb

Any idea of the barrel life on the 280?
This has been my first and only .280 AI barrel. I was hoping to go 1800-2000 before I start seeing issues. Depending on who you ask that seems reasonable to optimistic.

Used H1000 for the vast majority of the rounds fired, other than when doing some load development early on.
