[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 147349, member: 10"] JFC, A 1-10 will handle anything up to say a 220 gr SMK but nothing much heavier. If you want to shoot the 240s you will need a faster twist such as the 1-9. If you plan on using the factory stock, you will be limited in what you can use as far as barrel contour. In most cases, I would say the #7 or #8 will be far to large for the Winchester Classic sporte stock forend. Even the #6 will be tight in the area at the end of the full diameter barrel shank just ahead of the receiver. Now if your looking to get a new custom stock, you can get one to handle any barrel you want to use. A #7 Lilja will finish up very closely to a DE 0.875" diameter brake. Close enough that you can turn the brake down a small amount to match. The #8 is larger and will need the 1.000" DE brake and it can not be turned down to match that barrel muzzle diameter.
