Consignment: Kimber Mountain Ascent - 280 AI - Swarovski Z5 3.5-18x44 BT:

A true mountain rifle must be light and accurate. Hardcore hunters understand. Mountain Ascent Rifles are the lightest production big-game rifles ever offered, delivering legendary Kimber accuracy yet still weighing as little as 4 pounds, 13 ounces. Reinforced carbon fiber stocks add strength, and stainless steel shrugs the elements. All Kimber Mountain rifles offer a threaded barrel for optional use of muzzle brakes and suppressors. Combine all the best Kimber features in a lightweight, stainless steel and reinforced carbon fiber package that helps ensure performance. Mountain Ascent models go even further. Featuring a combination of spiral fluted bolt body and hollow bolt knob. The Mountain Ascent has additional custom features, including a fluted barrel and muzzle brake to reduce felt recoil. With Gore Optifade soft-touch or Moss Green stock treatments they blend into any environment and ship with matte black ring mounts.

These rifles have no equal.

280 Remington Ackley Improved:

One of P.O. Ackley's earliest wildcats was the 7mm-06 Improved, which was made by necking down the .30-06 Springfield case and fire-forming it to have less body taper and a 40-degree shoulder angle. Soon after the .280 Remington came out, Fred Huntington reformed its case to an improved configuration with minimum body taper, a 35-degree shoulder angle, and called it the .280 RCBS. Since cases for the .280 RCBS could be formed by firing .280 Remington ammo in a rifle chambered for the former, Ackley abandoned the 7mm-06 Improved and started chambering rifles for the .280 RCBS. He then changed the 35-degree shoulder to 40-degrees and the .280 Ackley Improved was born. If barrel length and chamber pressure are equal, the .280 Ackley Improved is about 100 fps faster with all bullet weights than the standard .280 Remington. In 2007, ammunition manufacturer Nosler registered the .280 Ackley Improved with SAAMI and began providing factory loaded ammunition and rifles for it
