Reeder Custom Guns

Just wondering if any 280 GNR owners have compared the 280 with 25-06 ballistics. Looking at it on paper it looks like it should be close in velocity with a slightly heavier projectile. I have a 26" barrel coming that I am gonna use in a carbine encore configuration.

and will equal or beat the 25-06 in any bullet weight. And a 26" barrel is about as useful as tits on a chicken. Cut it to 20" to 22" max and you have a great carbine.

Both on G2 frames. I like both but find that I grab the 16" most often. None of the deer that have dropped to the shot knew which barrel I had, but being handy is priceless.

Fingers on phone hit the 2 instead of the one. I bought it off the forum here from Rob, 16.25" with a brake. May have to send it in to you to fit it to my frame.

280 GNR

Wow 26” barrel! That will be as handy oil drum.

the 280 GNR has 18% more case capacity than the 25-06

Barrel length, I have a 7GNR in 16" and 23".

Actuall it is a 16" barrel, fat

that 16" 7GNR is the perfect carbine for deer size critters.

That will be Sweet
