[QUOTE="long450, post: 328785, member: 8426"] Any barrel length you mentioned will work fine with the 223. I have a 20" , 22", 24" and a 26". The 20" is preferred for hunting, just easier to carry. The twist depends upon what bullet you want to shoot. If you are planning on shooting nothing bigger than 55 gr bullets I would suggest the 1 in 12 twist. If you ever want to shoot anything bigger than 55 gr bullets I would get the 1 in 8 twist. My 1 in 8 twist barrel will shoot them all well. [/QUOTE]
