@@24886544 Hi, and thank you, it’s a shooter that’s for sure. The carpet really did stink, I was lucky I had a moving blanket in the tracker to lay on. lol. Alberta is going to be good. 👍🏻 I can’t wait. Thanks again and thanks for watching and the comment, take care.

Nice . My looks almost the same ( scope different ) I do think about the scope for a bit already and like to see how much you like it ? any problems yet , how does it track?

[@bcextremeoutdoorsman]

@@sebase6577Hi, the scope is good, tracks well. If I could change anything I would want the center of the reticle to be a smaller dot. I would also want it at least a 20 power. But still not an issue out to the distances I have been shooting. Also it is nice and light. Thanks for watching and the comment, take care.

Im looking to start my rifle build for hunting and range shooting. I want to firstly go with 280AI ive watched alot of your videos and its performance is incredible. My favorite rifles are tikkas because of their actions. Tikkas dont make 280ai so my question to you is if im wanting to build a custom like yours where do i start? Do you have a parts lift because this rifle you built is incredible!!!!

[@bcextremeoutdoorsman]

@@B00geymanBreeze Hi, you can get a custom barrel for your Tikka, if it’s a long action. Or you can build one from scratch. I used a Lone Peak Arms Fusion TI long action 24” IBI Carbon Hunter Reamed for 280ai by IBI MDT HNT26 chassis in long action and a folder Trigger Tech Primary Trigger Apex Optics Hunter 3-15x50 rifle scope MDT lightweight rings Medium height Insite Ams Heathen Muzzle brake. That about covers it other than my ammo. I hope this helps and thanks for watching I really appreciate it. Take care and be safe.

@@Accuracy1st Hi, my load is H 4831 SC with a 175gr. Berger Elite Hunter going around 2900 FPS. Thanks for watching and the comment and info on your load. Take care and good luck and be safe my friend.

[@MikeGuadango]

What rear bag are you using?

[@bcextremeoutdoorsman]

@@MikeGuadango Hi Mike, I was using the Armageddon Shmedium heavy fill bag. When I’m hunting I use the new MDT Renegade bag, weights about 1.8 ounces very light, expensive but light. Thanks for watching and the comment, take care.
