[QUOTE="Weatherby Fan, post: 1924573, member: 29953"] Ive built several 280AI, if you reuse the existing barrel I would insist the barrel be removed and rechambered with a new Sammi spec 280AI reamer, preferably a Manson Reamer, true and square the action while its apart. its my experience that your better off grabbing a new barrel and starting from scratch but of course this is going to be another cost, but Im going to suggest you will much happier in the long run if you did. I've used #1 #2 and #3 contour barrels, mostly Benchmark and one Bartlein, all 1-9 twist and they shoot. [/QUOTE]
