[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 905786, member: 12995"] Then you will be wanting 1:10 twist if you will be shooting with a suppressor, and heavy 220gr subsonic bullets. I would still go with a barrel with 5R rifling, but with a 1:10 twist. Length might be a different story. If all you ever plan on shooting out to is 600 yards, you could get away with a 20" barrel with no problem. BUT, if you think later on you would like to try some 1K shooting, a 24" or 26" would add some velocity and stability to your loads for longer shots. Bartlein, Brux, Krieger, Douglas, Hart, Shilen, Muller, Rock Creek...Any of the major manuracturers will be good barrels as long as your smith does his part correctly. [/QUOTE]
