    I love hunting with it, and would love a bolt action that shoots lights out.

    Otherwise it would be 6.5CM, 7-08, or maybe a 6.5 Grendel would probably be more practical. Never had a custom rifle and only recently tinkered w long range, but only in gas guns so far.

    I don't see the need for a custom build in a rifle that's not really designed to shoot (and kill something )past 100 yards.

      Good point... LOL
      Really wasn’t meaning the 300blk for long range

      Kind of what I was thinking, there’s really only one round I hunt with, sonic it doesn’t shoot that load well, I’d be SOL

        What length barrel for a mountain rifle in 280AI? 24" 22" and how much velocity would a 7mm-08 be behind in each barrel length? I figure roughly 300fps, but could be way off.

            I have a 280AI with 24" barrel, I had my oldest sons APR chambered in 280AI and choose 25" as a comprise between maneuverability and optimum performance. We like it so much that I have another APR on order in 280AI with 25" barrel.

            We also have 7-08 and love it but it's in a different league than the AI.

                    Sorry if this is a dumb question, but does the apr bdl bottom metal have a detachable magazine?

                      Am I an idiot for really wanting a 26 Nosler if I don’t reload?

                        JT, I'm not sure, but shoot they fine folks at APR a PM and they'll respond fairly promptly.

                          I just had a 28 Nosler built. I went with a 24 inch barrel then added a break. I shoot 175 accubonds I'm getting 3048 Muzzle velocity and 3590 Muzzle energy. Also went with 1:8.25 twist

                              Between case capacity and barrel length there is over 300 fps between the 2. To me the 7-08 is a handy carry / truck gun good to 300 yards or so on deer while the 280AI.

                              Think about popular factory offerings in 7mm: 7-08, 280, 7 mag & 7 RUM. The 280AI is very nearly equal to 7 mag so you have effectively jumped from the slowest 7mm to the 2nd fastest.

                                Uuuggghhhhh why why why!!!

                                I only have three guns I’d sell for this. One is my pistol, and the other two are my only bolt action rifles which are Tikkas that shoot lights out. I just don’t know if I can talk myself into selling those for ONE.
