    my other 243AI had 30" barrel, so I'll probably back it off a hair or two...

    Probably around $900.00 total if you look at the figures on ABS sight.

    I'll never tell.

    Nope, I got real lucky. George drew a once in a lifetime Utah sheep permit and I got a great deal on the A5 and the ABS barrel. He needed to sell them to build a light weight sheep rifle.
