I have seen several of them group good. I looked at Savage Ultralight 280AI rifle. But i wanted a 1@8 26-inch barrel. Savage didn't have it. The only one i could find at the time with it was a Browning. I bought a Xbolt Speed Long Range 280AI. I topped it with a Leupold. A VX6 HD 4x24x52mm TMOA reticle. I put mine together to go on a spring bear hunt. In either Idaho or Montana, hopefully. I am fixing to start load development on a Berger. A 168gr Classic Hunter bullet. Could take several rounds to break barrel in. Then it could shoot anything good.
@@ozark_trapper I really like it for the money. I'm working on a 300 wsm load right now but plant to work on 2 loads with the 280 ai. 1 in something like accubond or Barnes TTSX and 1 for lighter game like Sst. Thanks for watching and commenting, God bless!
