[QUOTE="TOM H, post: 1034709, member: 306"] For my 284 used a Lilja barrel it was Rem sporter contour @ 30" and was cut down to 27". [url]http://www.riflebarrels.com/products/pdf_barrel_drawings/factory/remsp30.PDF[/url] I had Channlyn barrel on it before 7x57 and one Jim Borden Rimrock stock and that rem contour fits barrel channel. It's just little under 10lbs and had rifle about 4yrs and now that I'm almost 73 makes for good packing rifle. I build it more for the 160gr and 168gr bullets and has 1/9 twist and it's not a SAAMI spec throat so take advantage of it being on a long action. My best accuracy has been around 2900 to 2950fps and I have shot few of the Berger 180gr VLD but not the bullet for that rifle. I've never shot a Benchmark barrel and post you read they seem to be good one and I have few Kreiger on some of my builds and they shoot. As to 1/8 twist for the 180gr be a good choice but you may want to run some ballistic tables. Well good luck [/QUOTE]
