[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 588672, member: 12"] The 260 or 6.5x47 are both fun rounds with great accuracy. However lot to be said for the 308. As for the barrel, 20-24" max would be my choice unless you are planning on a palma or FTR comp gun. I would go for the 1-11 twist vs the 1-10. No need for fluting unless you want to spend the extra $125-150 for some reason. Adjust the weight if that is the issue by the taper ordered. More importantly, I would look very very carefully at the reamer being used. What are you going to use the gun for? What bullet weights do you plan on using? Is that reamer cut for those bullets? Lot of 308 reamers out there and not all work for everything. Right now for LR, the berger 185 is really being utilized by many over the 175 SMK and quite a few are using the 208 Amax. [/QUOTE]
