I have a 2000ish Vintage Model 70 Stealth for sale in .22-250. This rifle was <.5" or better with 50gr. Vmax and 52gr. Hornady BTHP Match bullets with an old 14x scope. Round count around 200. I upgraded the scope to a Leupold Mark IV 8.5-25x50 LR/T in Talley Rings right before covid and never shot it. Can Include 50 rounds of VMax handloads in never fired brass, 50 unfired brass, about 200 Vmax bullets, and a couple hundred misc. other .224 bullets including an unused box of Sierra 69gr. matchkings.


This is a wonderful rifle I just never have time to shoot. https://photos.app.goo.gl/R6win12EYqyLkByJA

I inherited this same model rifle a couple years ago. I still haven't shot mine yet, but it just exudes accuracy and speed. GLWS!
 
Thank You! I think I originally wanted a Model 700 VSSF but it was a fair bit more so I got this. Surprisingly, the Winchester is much smoother cocking so staying on target is much easier.

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)

This compares favorably to 7 Rem Mag. with less powder & recoil.

I know that this thread is more than a year old but as a new member I thought I would pass along my .280AI loading.
I am shooting F Open long range rather than hunting but here is what is working for me and I have managed a 198.14 at 800 meters.
That is for 20 shots. The 14 are X's which is a 5" circle.
