I’m down sizing my big bores and this one just sits.

It’s a very clean 1979 Ruger RS with very few light handling marks on the stock but nothing major. It did get the red pad swapped for a decelerator prior to my owning it. Scope is an older leupold vari-x iii 1.75-6x32 that’s been through the custom shop for a heavy duplex reticle. Round count is said it be 120 rds (80 by original owner, 40 by me)

The rifle with come with:
(200) Win virgin brass
(120) 1x Win Brass
(100) 450gr Barnes TSX
RCBS 3 die set.

$2800 shipped OBO

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)

This compares favorably to 7 Rem Mag. with less powder & recoil.

I know that this thread is more than a year old but as a new member I thought I would pass along my .280AI loading.
I am shooting F Open long range rather than hunting but here is what is working for me and I have managed a 198.14 at 800 meters.
That is for 20 shots. The 14 are X's which is a 5" circle.
