    uumm thanks? I was expecting a few words and not this very detailed descriptions. Much apprecaited. The .280AI has caught my eye as of late. A very quick search shows that the there are not many mainstream manufacturers creating this calibre. What would you estimate a setup like your would run?

    Your welcome, Lots of rifle companies chamber rifles in this cartridge, Savage, Kimber, Weatherby, Fierce, Cooper, you have Hornady, Nosler and Federal making factory ammo, now Peterson making excellent brass.

    IIRC $4500.00 used scope included for the total build including labour
    7mm PRC soon to be the most popular cartridge in North America

    Hmmm That might be bit steep for my budget but may give a look at some of the other manufacturers. As I said, I did take a brief look so may have missed them.

    From what I’m seeing the factory offered 6.5 PRC rifles have been extremely accurate.

    Sauer, Howa, Bergara are some other factory rifles
