With a twist rate of 7.5, I pretty sure the 95 smk will not stabilize. All the twist rate calculator I have used say it will not. Even the 90 smk is on the low side of being stable with a rating of 1.51. I believe with the 90 smk I should be able to reach speeds of 3300 +/- with the 26” barrel...

My vote would be the Sightron S-Tac or even the SIII. I have several and they are great scopes. The brightness and clarity are fantastic for the money.

When Hornady develop the round they recommend a 1:7.5 twist for that round. I have a Ruger with a 1:7.7 twist and shoot 107 with no problems. If you want to shoot the 110 grain Sierra, then I would recommend you not go any slower than 7.5 .

Thank you for the replies......

I’m having a rifle built in 22 Creedmoor on a Remington action with a 26” 1:7.5 twist barrel. Looking to shoot Sierra 80-90 grain and/or Hornady 80-88 grain bullets. Thinking about using Hodgdon H4350 or RL26. Does anyone have any recommendations or advice?

Hello all...I’m here from South Carolina...I have spent the last 30 years in the firearms business and looking forward to more time for target shooting now.
