I'm about to start a new rifle build. I sold my last good long range plinker / hunter to fund my divorce. I had a rem 700, 26" barreled 308 with action work, bedded, and floated, Jewel trigger and good scope it was a cheap mans 800 yard gun. .5 moa all day long with my hand loads. I like shooting out to 600 and 800 when I can, for gong shooting and yote dogs. Anyway I'm preparing to start a new one, was planning on 308 but 280 rem has caught my eye. Its fast, its flat, and 7mm has plenty of bullet selections. How accurate is it? Basically what I want to know is can it shoot as consistent as 308.
I'm going to do XLR evolution chassis, rem 700 action, have the action blueprinted, and squared, good 24" barrel matched to the action. Jewel trigger, badger bolt knob, 20 moa badger base, and haven't decided on optics yet. This will be threaded and sporting a suppressor as well. Not looking to load subsonic though. I want something good for pigs and deer out to 250 or maybe 300 yards and something I can get .5 moa or better with the above mentioned work.
