[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 274720, member: 1007"] It seems like guys can get 6mm and 6.5mm barrels pretty easily from Brunos and Sinclair. Where I have trouble getting barrels in a timely fashion is anything bigger than the 6.5mm. You may concider stocking 7mm, 30 cal and 338 cal. There would be little call for 8mm, 375 and the like. Seems like 9.5-10x is popular for the 338 since most 338 shooters here are specifically interested in the 300 SMK. Most agree that 10x is suitable. But with new bullets hitting the market every day (it seems like) something a wee bit faster may be good to have around. For the 30 cal in practical situations, I cannot ever see why anybody would want to use a twist faster than 10x. It will handle the 240 SMK just fine and even though solid copper bullets with their specifec gravity requires more twist than a jacketed lead bullet, they dont still dont make any that are long enough to merit more than a 10x. 11 and 11.25 seem to be extremely popular right now. Most 30 cal shooters dont want to use the 240 SMK and the 11 - 11.25 will more than handle bullets all the way up to the 220 SMK. Dont forget the 12x is also still very popular as there are alot of shooters that still use no more than 180's or 190's in their rigs. Afew 13's and 14's will not hurt either for the 308 fans. Cant tell you anything about the 7mm. As far as contours, it is largley a personal preference and you will get many different answers. Remington Sendero contours have always been very popular as they are somewhat heavy, yet managable. Palma contours seem to be gaining popularity. Also m24 contours are somewhat popular as well. Most guys these days are wanting want stainless steel as well. A few dont care, but SS is dominating the market right now. I think the idea here is great. Whether it is realistic or not is another story. I personaly would definatly buy barrels from you periodicaly so I didnt have to wait 6 months for a barrel. I would even be willing to fork out a reasonable amount more for it not to have to wait. By the way, THANK YOU!!! [/QUOTE]
