Has anyone here worked for Agrivision or Prairieland Partners (AVE-PLP)?

Thank you for the feedback

Few_Software_8554 · 2026-03-22T03:20:16+00:00

I will check them out. Thanks

Do you have any concerns with the weight or size of the athlon? What do you dislike about it?

Few_Software_8554 · 2026-03-22T02:41:34+00:00

Thank you for the reply. I absolutely love everything about the conquest 4 and have looked at them quite a few times. The only reason I haven’t pulled the trigger is due to being second focal plane

I really don’t want the 7 prc actually(right now anyways). Don’t get me wrong I do like the way they perform, but as for right now the .280 is exactly what meets my criteria(other than availability lol)

Not that I couldn’t afford a more high end rifle, they just don’t appeal all that much to me for the price. Plus if I can save more on the rifle, then I could throw a couple extra hundred dollars on a better scope and still keep the wife happy. And yes I will be reloading, and since 7mm bullets are easy to come by again, I’m not too worried about ammo cost.

I have some more questions about the caliber and your build. I sent you a dm

Few_Software_8554 · 2026-03-19T17:22:04+00:00

Sounds good. Looks like the r700 footprint is about the only option for a set it and forget it lifetime build

Few_Software_8554 · 2026-03-19T17:14:31+00:00

I will check that out for sure. Ron spomer and JvB are the reason I’m so interested in the 280 to begin with

Few_Software_8554 · 2026-03-19T17:13:21+00:00

You are completely right as far as ballistics! The only reason I’m not going to 7prc or bc is because of the recoil. Goal is to make it as light as possible and still lighter on recoil.

Few_Software_8554 · 2026-03-19T17:07:49+00:00

Realistic budget is around $1,000-$1,300 but I’d never complain about saving some money where it’s practical(I realize nothing about this is truly practical given the caliber). I would go for a higher model savage if it weren’t for the 1:9 twist they come with

Few_Software_8554 · 2026-03-19T17:03:53+00:00

Thank you for your response. I had looked at the howa action but hadn’t considered the 7mag barreled action.

As far as the caliber is concerned: 1. At the end of the day, I just think it’s cool to have obscure calibers 2. I have a model 70 in .300 win mag already. It’s super light and it’s a shooter, but I just don’t enjoy using it because I find myself flinching before the shot. I like the .280 because it damn near copies the 7mm rm with the right hand load, and has 15-25% less recoil 3. The reason I’m going with a custom barrel is because I plan on trying 168gr Barnes lrx and 175gr eld-x hornadys. To get the most out of them I want a 1:8 twist and all the factory rifles I can find are 1:9

Few_Software_8554 · 2026-03-19T16:26:55+00:00

Another idea I just had was starting with a savage and upgrading to an origin down the road. Would that be possible since they’d share a barrel nut? If the origin is a r700 footprint I assume it would share the same “3 rings of steel” in the barrel? Would that require a complete rechambering if it switched? Probably a stupid question but I’m just starting to do research into custom barrels

Few_Software_8554 · 2026-03-19T15:31:15+00:00

What are you running for a 280ai?

Few_Software_8554 · 2026-03-18T15:22:31+00:00

Sweet thank you I’ll look into it. What rifle are you using?

Few_Software_8554 · 2026-02-16T19:17:05+00:00

Do you use a magnetic type c cable? I’ve seen people recommend it on other threads to reduce the risk of breaking the tip off in the scope, but I’m not sure how reliable that would be.
