Folks, I've fielded a lot of questions about this rifle—so here's a 15-minute bonus rifle review for you. This is the build project I did last year to create my ultimate .280 Ackley Improved custom mountain rifle. It was built by my old friend Steve Pratt of Elk Meadow Performance, using the following components:
- Defiance Anti-X action
- Proof Research 22" 1:8-twist Sendero profile carbon-fiber barrel
- Timney Elite Hunter trigger
- Hawkins Precision "Hunter" bottom metal
- Proof Mountain Hunter stock
- Leupold VX-6HD 3-18x44 scope
It turned out wonderfully... Weighs right around 7.5 pounds ready to go up the moutain!
