[QUOTE="Buttermilk, post: 1053695, member: 5262"] I'd choose a Bartlein barrel in either a #3B contour, #4 contour, #10, or even a #13 contour. 5R, or a 4 groove barrel. 26"-28" long on the barrel length. I'd pick the contour on how much weight I wanted the rifle to have and where I wanted the balance point. The #10, and #13 Bartlein contours will put a bit more weight at the muzzle end. If weight wasn't/isn't an issue, I'd go for a heavier contour barrel. Bartlein contours are numbered a bit different than other manufacturers contours. Standard twist is a 1:10", but might go with a 1:9" twist. [/QUOTE]
