[QUOTE="Kevin Thomas, post: 454211, member: 15748"] Catfire, The 1x8"s are pretty much standard fro everything up to and including the 80 grain Match bullets, but you didn't really specify what you're going to be doing with this. I'd only recommend the 80s and above for a competition gun, since they're all designed to be single loaded, and seated out well beyond mag length (2.260"). If you're not doing anything heavier than the 69s, then a 1x9" or even 1x10" will work just fine. As always, it's the heaviest (longest) bullet you'll ever want to use that will determine just how fast you need to twist the barrel. What are you planning on doing with this one? Answer that, and we'll be able to give you some clearer options here. [/QUOTE]
