[QUOTE="Coyoteee, post: 2080060, member: 115738"] Somewhat similar to the OP here, I have a Tikka M695 in 25-06 that is being rebarrelled to a 280AI with a removable brake. It will have a 8:1 gaintwist, which means that the bullet starts down the barrel at 14:1 and the rifling gets progressively tighter til the muzzle where it’s 8:1. 26” barrel. It hasn’t been mentioned here (well maybe it has but I haven’t read all of the posts), but if you’re considering some of the 6.5 options keep in mind that the 270 and the 280 cartridges both have longer necks than the 25-06 and 30-06 something that could be advantageous if reloading. Working on refinishing the stock while it’s all apart. Just putting on the last few coats of antique oil. It had an epoxy finish from the factory. REALLY ugly to get off. Couldn’t really tell what the wood was like under it, but it’s turning out really well, if I say so myself [/QUOTE]
