They made a third for Bergara. The Highlander uses a more traditional stock. I forget what it’s called, but they don’t make it anymore. I’ve got a pretty rare Highlander, 280AI. I just put a Traverse stock on it trying to get a long action magazine set up. Jury is still out.
I have several and have been happy with them. For a while they supplied the stocks for Bergara rifles and that’s how I ran into them. My latest is the Phoenix 2 and I like the design.
I’ve got both, so here goes:
- the AI gains 100+ fps. In my case with 140 gn bullets, it almost 200 when I’m comparing my best hunting load. Rifles are different, with the AI having a longer barrel, so that’s some of the increase. Most of the reloading manuals have them within about 100 fps...
I bought the same rifle a year or so ago. You’ll be very happy with it. You hit the jackpot with that stock, mine isn’t nearly as figured. I put a Timney trigger on mine.
I have a 22 cal Diana air rifle that can send a 22 cal pellet out the barrel at about 900 fps. Very accurate. Our squirrels have learned to stay off the feeders. Mine is close to 10#’s though so I have to use a support.
I shortened the stock on a CZ shotgun. Did the work myself and while it’s not perfect I was happy with it. Since then the number of birds I‘ve taken probably doubled over earlier hunts. I bought the shotgun to hunt with and could care less about resale.
That said, I’d have a professional do...
I’ve never figured out how to keep my hunting scopes in pristine condition. Or my rifles either. I enjoy my time outdoors and don’t worry about the scrapes and scratches. My late father had a very expensive Browning shotgun that saw a lot of use over the years. The dings and scratches remind...
I have 2 models of the A7, Long Range and Big Game, and the Tikka in several calibers. I consider the A7’s superior due to the Roughtech stocks. At that time the Tikka stock wasn’t nearly as nice IMO. Several models of the Tikka now sport the Roughtech stocks, so my choice would different...
I was going to say one of my 308’s, but after thinking more about it I’d have to go with my CZ 6.5 Grendel. ive shot groundhogs and deer with it, and shot it with great success out to 600 yards at the range. I could do the same with other rifles I own, but not in as small a package. Plus it’s...
I reload about 15 different cartridges. If I couldn’t reload I’d keep my 223, 308 & 6.5CM rifles. I included CM because it was easier to find than 308 in my area. Pistols are easy, I’d keep my 9mm.
Of all my rifles, I’d probably miss my 280AI the most.
Shows in our area are by far the best place to source reloading powder. Cheaper than online and no hazmat fee. Prior to the pandemic you could source just about any powder, but since then varieties have been somewhat limited. It’s getting better though.
I have 5 that are on the list, but if I had to choose I’d go with the Creedmoor mainly because of the availability of good rifles and ammo. The Grendel is a very close second because I enjoy my 527’s. 6.5 Rem Mag was my first.
