[QUOTE="Horse1, post: 2421691, member: 112817"] You said you want this rifle to "Scratch an Itch" for a good while to come. Consider projectiles from 2011-2012. Look where we're at today. Where will we be in 10yrs? 1:8 would be the MINIMUM twist I'd consider on any .284 today and 1:7 would be even better. .284 160gn Badlands Super BullDozer already requires 1:7, other manufacturers are likely to push that envelope in the future. I had my .257Wby done in '08 w/1:10 twist. Nobody was talking about fast-twist/high-BC 25's at the time, but, I should've seen it coming given the direction .224, .243, .264, .284 were headed and I should've banked some extra twist from the get-go.
