[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1018229, member: 12995"] I'd go with a 26" #3 barrel with a 1:9 twist, chambered in .280 Ackley Improved (Nosler/SAAMI chamber), that way you can buy Nosler pre-formed .280 AI brass and ammo for it, and shoot them with no problems. The .280 AI can shoot about 100-150 fps slower than a 7mm RemMag, but still uses the standard .30-06 bolt face. It's a hell of a caliber. It'll launch the 168 Bergers pretty good. I hear PacNor does a great job on their barrels. I have also been told they will do your smith work for you, and can true your action, and install your new barrel for you. They should also be able to bed your action, and float the barrel at the same time, for a little bit more money. I hear their prices are pretty reasonable, although I can't give any personal experiences with them. I've just heard a lot about them on here, and never heard a bad review. Hart Rifle Barrels is the same way. They make barrels, but can do your smith work in-house for you, as well. [URL]http://www.hartbarrels.com/barrels/caliber-and-twist/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
