[QUOTE="sharktown, post: 482110, member: 27667"] I have a Jaeger Hunter in .280 Remington with a 22 inch barrel on a Mauser action and a Bell an Carlson carbon fiber stock that is not bedded only inletted with a Leupold 3.5x10 scope. Had it built by Jaeger back in 1989 and have taken my share of deer and a couple of elk with it, it's been a good rifle and I have been good out to around 200- 250yds and I don't know why I hadn't bedded the stock all these years. Now I don't hunt much at all but I like long range shooting at targets or steel plates but my rig is not the greatest at 500-600 yds. and could use some work - bedding and a better stock being number one and my long range skills number two. The stock does not seem very rigid to me and I think I could use a more stable stock for starters. I'm thinking of a longer 26" barrel, laminated stock, glass bedding, target turrets for the scope and a bipod for starters and to keep cost reasonable. Any suggestions from the long range group out there? Any favorite loads for this cartridge for the yardage suggested? Had another project I was thinking of but canned it for this one instead.
