[QUOTE="Ranger Rick, post: 2059449, member: 111184"] The above recommendations are spot on with either a 24" or 26" barrel with a twist in the range of 1:8' to 1:9" (LRH is a great forum :)). There are several fantastice barrel makers out there, to name a few: Bartlein, Brux. Krieger, Proof Research. The barrel makers support staff that I have dealt with have been knowledgable and a pleasure to talk with on the phone. I'd recommend calling some companies. I prefer single-point cut rifling over button rifling (a topic in itself), twist options are precise such as 1:8.7" = exactly what you request. Gain twist is an option and I will be putting a 1:9.4' to 1:8.7" gain twist Bartlein barrel on my Rem 700 BDL 7mm Mag this Spring. On the barrels that I have ordered without gain twist, I look for companies that also hand lap their barrels. I've found that new barrels that are lapped are easy and quick to break in. With CNC machineering blended with traditional high quality professionals, getting a new barrel is a wonderful experience. Then, a gunsmith that will chamber your new barrel to your favorite bullet is an added benefit of rebarreling. All in all, a new barrel makes for a great Christmas present! Merry Christmas. [/QUOTE]
