Got a new 1/7 twist 243ai for the American and would love to hear what you guys have torqued to. I was looking at 65'#. How ever would like to hear what works best for you guys.
Seems a while back there was a thread about replacing barrels but I can't find it.

RAR short action chambers 243AI it shoots really well. Had to gut the mags but they work now. Thinking about adding a chassis for the ease of AI mags and a stock I prefer.
