[QUOTE="308 nate, post: 155066, member: 1920"] north of 53, The 1 in 12 twist is definately better than the 1 in 14 for the 55's, but if you want to push the 68-75's I would definately go with a 1 in 9 twist. Savage is currently chambering some of the .22-.250 with a 1 in 9 twist barrel. I have also opened up several 1 in 9 twist Savage .223 barrels to .22-.250 AI with awesome results. the 788 would also be a good receiver to build on, other than they can have a weak bolt handle.( I have heliarced several handles on the 788s')I will also second what JD Jones said about the .22-.250AI being a good choice. I have build a .260 ackley on a788 receiver using a .308 clip and it fed like a dream! I have not build a .22-.250AI while using the clip for a 788 so I can't tell you how it would feed. Re-barreling the 788, depending on the barrel you would be looking at $350-$450 for barrel and chambering,threading and crowning. FWIW, 308nate [/QUOTE]
