[QUOTE="LaHunter, post: 1302919, member: 54963"] Return the rifle to the "gunsmith" and get a full refund. Don't waste your time fighting this thing. It may even be unsafe to fire, if all bullets are impacting the target sideways at 50 yards. Find a competent gunsmith that has some references that you can call and research if you want to get a custom build. If he told you a 10 twist is good for 168 grain bullets, he is on an island all by himself with that opinion. Most will tell you for a 7mm mag shooting 168 grain bullets, a twist of 9.5 is the slowest they would recommend, and most would likely recommend a 9.25 or a 9.0 twist. Good Luck [/QUOTE]
