[QUOTE="woods, post: 440843, member: 6042"] What caliber are you going to rebarrel to? Going back to 30-06 or something like a 338-06, 30-06 Ackley, 280 Ackley, 280 rem, 270, 6.5-06 or 25-06. Any of those would be possible with no bolt face work and are the same length so should work in you action. I have a Pac-Nor 3 groove in 375 Ruger and am impressed. Rebarreled a friend's gun for him with a Shilen and it is a shooter. Also have rebarreled guns with Douglas, Brux and Hart barrels and all of them are shooters. Krieger certainly has a great name but you have to wait on one a long time. Once you get to the better aftermarket barrels like Shilen or Pac-Nor then the gunsmithing has as much or more effect on it's accuracy than the barrel itself. If you were rebarreling for a benchrest then there are some barrels and gunsmiths that are considered the very top but in a hunting gun the difference would be minimal to unnoticeable. As far as twist that will depend upon the caliber and bullet you want to set the gun up for. Most of the time you set the gun up to shoot the heavier bullets and it will shoot heavy and light bullets. If you choose a slow twist then you would have a problem if you ever wanted to shoot the heavier bullets. For a 30-06 it is generally 1 in 10 for all. My 280 Ackley Hart barrel is a 1 in 8 because I shoot the 160 gr bullet. There are charts at most of the barrel makers. I usually go to Sisk Rifles page [url=http://www.siskguns.com/index.php/barrel-twist.html]Barrel Twist[/url] If you are a reloader then IMO you can't beat the 280AI for an all around caliber but any of them are good.
