[QUOTE="mechengr, post: 1742561, member: 75894"] One other thing to consider, especially if buying a factory rifle and also wanting to shoot 160+ grain heavies, is barrel twist. Most standard 280s are going to come with a 10 twist, while 280ai is twisted faster from what I've typically seen. 160-168 is kind of right on the edge of working in either twist, but if you ever get the itch to try any of the super sleek options above 170 grains, a 9 twist is probably the way to go.
