I think MSRP is suppose to be around $1300-$1350. I doubt that I personally would give that for a rifle that I was going to hunt with.

These are five shots after going thru the Winchester barrel break in procedure on their web site.
Used cheap Federal fusion ammo 140gr.

Going to pickup some 162 gr amax and work up a load with them.
I feel some good reloads will bring it a little closer.

Don't count out Partitions. They may not be your choice for a 600-yard shot, but they can deliver some darned good accuracy and first-rate terminal performance. My .280 loves 150-grain Partitions.

Worked up ten 3 shot loads using IMR4831, starting at 51gr up to 53.8gr. These are the two best groups. This is 58 total rounds thru rifle at this time.

I would take off the pretty wood stock and place it in the box for later. Buy a Bell and Carlson stock to use while shooting/hunting. You can always put the other on later and it will be in perfect shape.
