[QUOTE="kai, post: 1364270, member: 98994"] I just checked Benchmark barrels and they list their 7mm barrels as having a 9 twist. All factory 28 Noslers I've researched, including the Christenson Arms use a slower twist around 9 or 9.5. Berger bullets recommends a twist of 8.3 or faster for their 195 grain bullet that I plan to use. I'd enjoy the satisfaction of truing an action myself and I have a lathe but I've never trued an action and don't have the specialty tools to true the action the way it see it being done on internet videos. I've heard that R700 actions should be trued but that other actions including the Sako 75 and 85 don't need to be trued. I'm not sure that this is accurate information so I'm looking for suggestions and comments. I'm trying to decide if I should just buy a Stiller Predator and build the gun form scratch, or work with a new R700 action or buy a new or used complete gun to rebarrel. The Remington 700 SPS can be bought in stainless new for around $550 chambered in a RUM, but I don't know if this lower priced 700 would be a good candidate for an accuracy gun and if it can be trued as well other 700 actions. Also, would I give up much accuracy with the SPS stock vs. a Manners stock. Gents, thanks for the comments so far... Please keep them coming. [/QUOTE]
