Trigger & Muzzle
The 280 Ackley Improved delivers magnum-class performance in a standard-length action. You get the velocity and energy of a 7mm magnum without the recoil penalty or the need for a larger action—ideal for mountain hunting where weight and maneuverability define success.
This is not a rifle for the range. It's built for the hunter who climbs ridges, glasses valleys, and makes one shot count. The Backcountry Guide TI eliminates unnecessary weight while preserving the accuracy and reliability you need when the moment arrives.
