[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 2553, member: 34"] If you only want to shoot bullets up to 120 to 130 grs (max) it would. The better bullets start at 140 gr and go UP from there. The 9 and 10 twists in the factory barrels do not stabilize the heavier bullets well. The accuracy is terrable in any I have seen except for lower weight bullets shot in them. You need an "8 twist" in the 6.5 for the 140 to 155gr bullets for longrange hunting/shooting. That twist seems to work the best. You can always rebarrel later after you shoot the lighter bullets in the factory rifle you mentioned? DC [/QUOTE]
