[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 910330, member: 14204"] Most barrel manufacturers make mostly standard bore groove/twist dimensions (esp in 5R) in .277 caliber. Some manufacturers might offer special groove diameters, # of grooves, and twist rates not listed for an additional cost and delivery time (i.e. [url]http://www.kriegerbarrels.com/Services-c1246-wp3391.htm[/url]). It probably changed now but when I was doing my research 2 years ago, I was down to ... Lilja - 1:8, 3-groove Pacnor - 1:8, 5-groove ([B][I]not sure if this is the same or close to 5R[/I][/B]). After consulting with my gunsmith (Dave Young) and Dan Lilja, I settled with a 30" 1:8" 3-groove Lilja barrel and am very pleased thus far. We all have varying personal experiences here to share but it boils down to your personal preference. Good luck! Ed [/QUOTE]
