Agreed!This!
Stock design/fit isn't working for you & the rifle
I just picked up another 280AI from my gunsmith (my third). This one is built on a pre 64 action, 25", #3 Shilen barrel and was mounted in an older Brown Precision stock (I had lying around for God only knows how long). **** thing kicks like a mule because the stock is a straight design with a slight rise in the cheek rest area. This affected my groups after a few strings and groups opened from 1/2" to 1-1/2". I took the Brown Precision stock off and fitted a McMillan stock. Problem solved, no need for a muzzle brake, groups stay small and shoots just as comfortably as my other 280 AI's.
