  1. My 280AI barrel is 26" and I built it as a beanfield/clearcut rifle to be used out of deer stands...so I don't expect it will be too cumbersome for my purposes.. I left it that long intentionally to get all the velocity I could out of my AI...but that being said..if it turns out to be too cumbersome or my hunting style changes I can always lop it off... I used my 35 Whelen in the S TX brush hog hunting last Dec and it it wasn't a problem with it's 24" barrel...so an extra 2"s might not be a big deal for me... The 338-06 barrel I have ordered from Shaw is supposed to be 24"...but I am already thinking about shortening it to 22"....but I will wait and see how it turns out before I make a final decision on shortening it...decisions, decisions, decisions....

  2. Don..Fouling has not been a problem at all in my 280AI barrel... I have a couple of rifles with A&B barrels..and they foul some..but not to the extent that I have heard others complain about..my Shaw barrel doesn't have a fouling problem at all. With the discount you can get the standard barrel for 120 bucks delivered...so it figures out to about a 25.00 discount when you figure shipping. Zeeriverrat
  3. I have a 26" Shaw barrel on my 280AI and it shoots great. Have another one on order right now in 338-06AI... Shaw also gives a discount for C&R holders... Zeeriverrat
