[QUOTE="Alan Griffith, post: 390970, member: 4686"] I had Chris Matthews of LongShot rifles [url=http://www.longshotriflesllc.com/]Long Range Hunting Rifles from Long Shot Rifles Custom Built Rifles[/url] build my tactical rifle back in December. It has a 26" SS Krieger, 1:8.5 barrel on it. It's an absolutely tack driver. My load of 40.3 gr H4350, 130 VLD's and CCI 450's never goes more than .6 MOA; more like .3 to .4 MOA. I decided to have Chris build me another 6.5x47 but a light weight hunting version and he suggested a Broughton 5C 1:8 twist in #3. I ordered a 3.1 which is nothing more than a 26" finished length. So I called Tim North @ Broughton and he is taking care of me. I thought I'd have to go with a #4 because of the desired 26" finished length until Tim suggested the #3.1 which is not listed on their web site. Good luck with your build and let us know what you come up. Better yet, post pics when you get it. Alan [/QUOTE]
