[QUOTE="Ross1147, post: 2196210, member: 106919"] I remember my first...honestly it’s a drug.lol. Every time I build a rifle I say it’s my last. Then 4-5 months later I get the itch again. For your build I’d go 8 twist. Can still sling that 105 grn Berger. If you want to step it up to the 115 I’d speed it up to 7 twist. As for what custom barrel I have 3 carbon barrels right now, 4 SS (3 Bartlein, 2 Proof, 1 Brux, 1 Xcaliber). In order or favorite: SS Bartlien (most accurate), SS Brux (easiest to clean), carbon Proof, Carbon Bartlein (just heavy), SS Xcaliber. As much as it pains me to say anything creed I’d go 6mm creed if looking for non wildcat. Next 243 or 6mm, then if wanting to go wildcat I’d go 6 SST (assuming you have a .473 bolt out of the question). Of note my only 6mm is a 6 Dasher, at it shoots amazing (the Xcaliber barrel). Zero recoil with a brake and gun to shoot! [/QUOTE]
