[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2413088, member: 101791"] I use to use whatever the rifle came with, but now I have barrels changed out, even if it's a new rifle that never been used. I want a little heavier barrel and 26" long. Still waiting for my 6mm-280AI that will have a 30" barrel @ 7 twist rate. This is the first time I had a custom reamer built to chamber the barrel. I had the neck O.D. reduced at the same time. I also get a second barrel for that 6mm-280AI, but left it unchambered. One of the reason for a longer barrel is to be able to rework the barrel over as needed. I can shorten at both ends and retain the barrel. Just how long that barrel will last in the 6mm-280AI I don't know. All these barrels are without a muzzle brake on. [/QUOTE]
