Very nicely done! I even like the in-letted aluminium bottom plate that supports the action screws. Looks like a magazine cover in front of the trigger guard and would really strengthen up the attachment of the v-block and action.
It will be interesting to see how the 280AI performs on the range as Bruce Moulds has raved about this calibre's potential for some time. I hope it ups the ante for F-Open in SA.

Thanks Ian, I'm pretty happy with it. I'm not sure about it upping the ante in SA, I hope it's competitive enough to give me a fair go with you blokes.. I also have a Neo on its way to fully compliment the outfit.
Dave, I have previously fireformed 100xRWS Brass and run a bit of a guessed load last Saturday at 700m, Dropped one silly shot at 9:00 (Driver Error), other than that held 12 in the ten/x rings in reasonably tricky conditions at Lower Light.
Went home quite enthused.

Thanks Quick.
I have done no load testing at all on this rifle. I threw a load together to support numbers at the Port Pirie OPM this weekend and was quite please with its performance. (2217-63.8gn/Berger 180gn VLD)
No pointing/meplate trimming etc.
No idea what speed this load was running at, though held great elevation at 700yds when the operator performed as he should.
I'm happy to hear of any other load testing done on the 280ai?
