New barrel 4: Mk.V in 7mm Wby. Mag - length / twist / contour?

[McStern]

Hi all,

the bloo... rifle just will not shoot straight.
Therefore: a new barrel is required, BUT which length, twist rate and contour?

intended use of rifle:

- red deer / fallow deer
- <300 m (I know, it's not that LONG range)
- >160 grain (copper) bullets
- "mountains", e.g. Scottish Highlands, the Alps --> portability desired!
- max. 2 shots in short sequence (hopefully )

Looking forward to your advice

Cheers

26" (66cm)
#5 contour I went with a #6 contour on my 7mag, it's a bit heavy for packing around
1 in 9 inches twist (1 in23 cm)
