I bought mine strictly because they anounced the classic select in 280ai. I waited 14mos for it to come in. I was not impressed with 2 or 3 inch groups. It will shoot 1.5 or so with factory 280 150grn. corelokts. When I quit using 139 sst bullets and went to 150 bts my groups shrank to just under or just over an inch. My trigger had some creep and overtravel in it that I recently corrected. I havent gotten back to the range with it since. It was easy to adjust down to 35oz. With 0 creep or overtravel now. This should help it shoot a little better. For the price I think that it should have been good to start with. That is why I didnt open it up and adjust it to start with. My SOP is to adjust everything before the first range session. If I had done it before shooting it,I may have been happier.
To me the measure of happiness with a purchase of any kind is, would I buy another one. I wouldnt. I would buy another Weatherby mkv. This time in 257. That was my debate then and I wish that I would have gone the other way.
Buy and tell us what you think. You are the only one that needs to be happy with it anyway.
