Default TWIST IN BARREL (FOR BENCH AND VARMINT)

A question for serious shooters?
What rate of twist do you recommend for the .22-250? I've seen it 1-9" upto
1-14". Also what do you think of Broughton and Douglas barrels?
May go with a Savage, Remington, or Ruger action and bolt.

Is there a manufacturer that guarantees 1/2 MOA at 100 YDS. accuracey Out of the box.
Thanks!

It depends on the bullet you plan to use. If you want to shoot heavy VLD's. then you will need a fast twist, if you want to shoot light varmint bullets, a slower twist will work.

I have a .243 AI getting built for me with a Broughton 5C barrel, from what I hear, they are about as good as it gets. I will post results when the rifle gets finished.

I would recommend the Remington if you are planning on re-barrelling and making it a custom.

Cooper does a 1/2 moa guarantee, but that is a complete rifle...

A golf course is a willful and deliberate misuse of a perfectly good rifle range.
