[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 155062, member: 8843"] Well barrel twist realy depends on what your wanting to shoot out of it. Are you gonna shoot 40-50gr bullets realy fast for work out to say 400yds or are you wanting to shoot this gun long range with heavier bullets? The 22-250 shooting a 75gr A-max can get you out to 1000yds with a 1-8 twist barrel. If your wanting to shoot just factory loads up say 55-60grs then the 1-12 would work fine. The 788 is a neat little gun and if its somthing you like then by all meens rebarrel it , if you like the 22-250 in this little old gun then your gonna love it with a good barrel thats fitted up properly. Also if you reload then I would recomend going with a 22-250 Ackley improved , you'll get a little more velocity but alot longer case life with alot less trimming. The ackley version realy shines if your wanting a fast twist long range rig. And remember that just because the chamber is cut for the Ackley Improved round that doesen't meen that you can't still shoot factroy ammo and in most cases the fireforming loads will shoot right close to the fire formed loads.!!
