[QUOTE="CBH Australia, post: 2390652, member: 116486"] Maybe, I had a .280ai built on a Tikka. It is an IBI Carbon Fibre wrapped barrel. They sell for $900 Aussie dollars. I also got a deal on a Bolly/Precision Defence Industries Carbon stock and the Tikka was a new old stock .25-06 blued synthetic. I wanted the 26"barrel to screw all the velocity I can from the .280ai. Overall its light with a front heavy balance. That gives the perception of being heavier when holding off hand. Might be better in the field, I've only used it over the bench. The stockist only offer 22" or 26" carbon barrels listed here. 22" and a slightly less lop would be good. But my 26" should also be ok for me as it's not a scrub gun either. It's about 48" overall. PSE Composites in Ireland make a nice looking stock but I got all my components at good prices at the time. . It was straight forward for the gunsmith as a thread and chamber job. [/QUOTE]
