[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 581644, member: 30902"] Spend the xtra hundred or so to get their best "ultra match" or equivalent barrel that the maker has hand lapped. As for twist rates, I'm not an expert but if I were specifically thinking in terms of long range with max weight bullets I'd probably go with 1:9 or 1:9.5. Talk to whomever you are ordering from, tell them exactly what you are doing and go with what they tell you they believe will work best. When I overhaul my STW I'm just going to send the whole thing to Krieger, have them true it, and do the complete install. That way if I have any issues I only have one person to deal with. [/QUOTE]
