[QUOTE="Philward, post: 2589075, member: 92604"] A friend has a couple xbolts, hclr versions, one 7RM and another 30Nos. He wanted to shoot the Barnes 168LRX in the 7RM but they just tumbled. If you look at the more recent versions of the rifle they have 1:8 twist barrel but I think his must have a 1:9.5. Barnes suggests that the bullet be used in 1:8 twist barrels. Those rifles from the factory now have a 1:8 twist barrel. Don't recall if his barrel is stamped with the twist on it. Wish there was a stock that is generic in that it has a moldable inside so you could heat it and press any rifle into it and it will take the shape of said rifle. Let it cure and remove rifle and start some trim work instead of having to get one that is already inlet. [/QUOTE]
