[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1346691, member: 12995"] I would go with a 26" (finished length) 1:8 twist barrel. If I go for a carbon fiber, it will be a Proof Research, if I go for a 416R stainless, it will be a Bartlein 5R. The reason behind this is, I have been shooting the Berger 210 VLD's and 215 Hybrids in my .308 Win for many years, and have had exceptional success with them. Despite having a slower muzzle velocity, the downrange performance and ballistics are very impressive. The drop at 1000 yards (100 yard zero) is less than 40" lower than a 6.5 Creedmoore or .260 Remington with a Berger 140 Hybrid. The Berger 7mm 195 Elite Hunter (previously known as the EOL), has a higher BC than the .30 caliber 215 Hybrid, weighs less, and therefore should be faster, and have better ballistics than the .308 Win with heavy bullets. So, it would be a long range shooting machine! I just think it would be cool to have one. Never been a fan of the .270 Win... Pulled apart a few of them to build customs in different calibers, but always shot .257, .284, and .308 bores. [/QUOTE]
