SOLD/EXPIRED Looking for Lilja 7mm/284 barrel blank

[redandwhite72]

I'm fishing around to see if anyone has a stainless 7mm/284 Lilja barrel blank 1:9 twist they'd sell. Somewhere around a 26-28" finish length, a 1.25 diameter and a #7 contour. Looking to build a 280 AI and trying to find one that my wife could get me and have for Christmas.

Still looking.

Thanks Roy. I did see that. I'm really looking for a fluted 1:9 twist. So I can shoot 180gn in a 280 AI.

Not to try and detour you from your project since I have a 1-10 twist barrel for sale lol. But in the not big magnums 7mm The 168's do better than the bigger 180's. By going to 180 your only .042 BC and that's it the 168's beat it everywhere else.
