[QUOTE="Sandstrom22, post: 1083358, member: 89881"] Waiting on a call back from the gunsmith, can't seem to reach him so I'm going to fall back on you guys and ask what you think since I cant wait. I'm looking at doing a 280AI build on a Left handed T3 270 win. Anyone have any past or current advice on barrel manufacture/contour/twist/lengths that they've had good success in on a t3 build possibly? I doubt it, but worth asking. I'm wanting to shoot something around 150-160gr so that its capable of shooting heavier bodied mule deer, and elk if I want and keep my muzzle velocity around 2900fps. a 1 and 9 twist is what I was leaning toward on a 26" barrel. This will be a mountain gun, So the weight will play a role on the build to a point. I'd like to be able to reach out to 800yds on animals and still keep 1400ftlb of power so that's why I am leaning toward 160s...Lastly Trying to find a Left handed Stock that's not going to break the bank.
