[QUOTE="trebark, post: 981398, member: 19172"] Nephew's rifle continues to transform! Not long ago I decided to radically change [URL]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f53/my-280-updated-32771/[/URL] in order to reduce weight. Item number one was to remove the barrel. Since I would have an 'extra' barrel lying around, I asked my nephew if he would like to have the 280rem barrel installed on his rifle. After telling him he could shoot the Berger 168Hybrids, he said 'heck yeah!' So we had the original 270win barrel removed and the 'new' 280Rem barrel installed. The barrel was made by Hart and is a #4 with 1:9 twist. The rifle is shooting well with the 'new' barrel. It sends the 168hybrids at ~2800fps. Recently, nephew took his rifle out to Wyoming to help reduce the prairie dog population. Here are a few pics of the rifle and nephew in action in Wyoming. (he sure knows how to build a shooting position!) [/QUOTE]
