[QUOTE="KsKevin, post: 2423060, member: 116689"] Mark, I just started a similar build. 280AI, terminus kratos lite, Hawkins 3-port brake, Hawkins bdl bottom metal, triggertech special, Manners eh1 cf, proof cf 24” 1/8.4 sendero lite. Expect bare rifle without scope/rings to be right at 6# 15oz. Not intending to hi-jack your thread but a few things in this thread that raised some questions for me that I thought we may both find beneficial to hear more about all related to what barrel option. [LIST] [*]Proof vs Bartlein - what are peoples thoughts on these two if both done cf (Bartlein #4 vs Proof sendero lite)? [*] If stay with proof cf, sendero lt vs sendero (comments about accuracy and harder to tune). Any more first hand experiences anyone can share? [*]Twist: 1/8 vs 1/8.4 twist. I understand longer bullet trend but I figured in the 280AI I won’t shoot anything heavier than 180 Berger in cup & core and a 1/8.7 is sufficient. On monos 1/8.4 works up to 160s for most mfgs. Worried over-twisting issues with cup & core more explosive on impact so what’s the right balance here? [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
