You should be able to buy a brand new Rem 700 ADL matt finish short or long action rifle for $400 - $500. Mine was in .25-06. Used it as is for a few years for my kids. Great round. Then I had my smith blue print action and built my .280 AI.
All said and done I could have paid a little more for an all custom action.
If you go the .280 AI route make sure you understand the difference between the original .280 Ackley Improved round and Remington's NEW .280 AI round. The length is different.
