[QUOTE="dave7mm, post: 422175, member: 147"] It was a 280 AI built by Nelson Berger. M700 Action Douglas No4 SS air gauged finish length at 24 1-10 twisted. McMillian GP/HTG. 1.5-6x42 S&B 4a reticle. Neil Jones worked over M700 factory trigger. Build date would have been the summer of 1985 I used it the following season and ran it for about the next 15 years or so. It was a soild MOA or better rifle. In other words if you could get any kind of a decent rest even in the field. It shot very well.Shot many 4 inch 5 shot groups prone off the ground,in the mud,at 400 yards. MV was 3140fps I always ran Rem cases and sorted the crap out of them. On deer I was pretty happy.Anything I hit square never got away. Eventually the barrel got rough and fouled alot.I retired it.But I've never rebuilt it. I figure ill be buried with it. Best big game rifle I've ever had. dave [/QUOTE]
