[QUOTE="Okdeerman, post: 2793349, member: 118029"] I am having a 6.5 06 built for whitetail hunting in the OK panhandle. I hunt a lot in pastures that are fairly wide open and present long shots. I have had numerous opportunities to shoot nice bucks at 700 yds+ but did not feel comfortable taking the shot. My question is, what twist should I get if my intention is to use the rifle mainly for deer hunting with an occasional prairie dog shoot thrown in? I would want to use the lighter, 100g or less bullets for PD and up to 130g for deer. What twist rate would be a good fit for those 2 situations? Thanks [/QUOTE]
