Does anyone have a suggestion for a barrel maker that does a 22" 1-in-8" 280AI in carbon fiber?
Is that enough barrel to completely burn the powder? I'd make sure you're not sacrificing powder burn/velocity so much that you'd be better off with a 7mm-08 in those shorter lengths. Might be good to google "complete powder burn barrel length 280AI" if you're not sure, and if you are... feel free to ignore me ;-)
There's almost nothing that doesn't very close to 100% burn in the first few inches of a barrel. Complete combustion is not what causes longer barrels to shoot faster.Is that enough barrel to completely burn the powder?

Thank you, Forest. That Savage Ultralite was flying under my radar. I went down an internet rabbit hole last night on the Savage Ultralite. It got some good reviews. The only real knock on it was the flimsy stock. Looks like a lot of bang for your buck.Pretty much any of them should. I chose Carbon 6 to do my 20" 7 saum with 8 twist. None of them will likely have it setting on the shelf, will have to be ordered. Or find a blank and have a smith do it.
I believe the savage ultralite with proof barrel is only 22" in the ackley in case you'd prefer a factory option.

I picked up a Savage Ultralight .280 AI. The stock isn't the greatest, but I switched it out to a Boyd's Stock and it is gorgeous! It's dropped 2 elk and 1 bear so far. More to come...hopefully many more. What did you end up getting? I love mine! I want to get a second one for when I take my kids with me.
I’d love to see if you find a source for this, I m looking for the same thingDoes anyone have a suggestion for a barrel maker that does a 22" 1-in-8" 280AI in carbon fiber?
Apparently I didn't do my response correctly. Here it is again.How much does that stock weigh? I am looking to replace a Savage stock.
