[QUOTE="cabelasken, post: 2470173, member: 117774"] I bought my first 280 AI late last year and just got it sighted in before my Colorado Elk Hunt. I dropped a cow at 420 yds with a 145 Gr Barnes TTSX long range bullet. I have since ordered two more rifles in the same caliber and am waiting to pick them up now. All three are Browning X-bolts as they are just now becoming available in reasonable supplies by some vendors. I agree the recoil is mild - without brake, and the velocity with the 145's is over 3100 FPS. Accuracy with the first rifle has been very good with very little tuning - components have been hard to come by!! The rifle is right at 8 lbs with scope, sling and loaded with ammo. For now, my custom 300 WSM that I've carried for the past 12 years will sit in the safe. [/QUOTE]
