I took my new Nosler 21 280 Ackley to the range today for break in. The rifle comes factory with McMillan hunters edge stock 24 ounces, Mack brothers Evo stainless action, shillen match stainless threaded barrel, trigger tech trigger adjusted down to exactly 2 pounds. At the first shot I fell in love with the rifle. The stock and recoil pad absorb the recoil extremely well. It feels like a mild 270. The trigger breaks nice and creep free. All rounds feeded and ejected perfectly and smooth. I fired 30 rounds of break in and my shoulder is pain free. I'm really pleased with my purchase and would definitely buy again. This rifle will see action from 0-600 yards. It is light enough in my opinion for a mountain hunt at 6 pounds 15 bare rifle. I'm going to mount a vx3i 4.5-14x40 Boone and crocket I just purchased at 13 ounces. My last 3 shot group measured.370 with factory Nosler 140 Ballistic Tips at 100 yards for barrel break in. I recommend this rifle in 280 Ackley to anyone.
