And I'll probably get a JP superbolt from them at the same time.
Planning to order by Friday unless there is a better option.(the other thing tempting me is the BSF carbon barrel, but it comes in 20" max length)
Keef:
Guess you won't be shooting it in any sort of formal competition.
Barrel will be way too heavy and awkward for anything other than a rest.
7 1/2 twist? Not normal for a 6.5. 8 twist is normally considered the ideal twist for the 130 and 140's. Wonder why Krieger is making one in 7 1/2? Probably because they are looking at barrels for super long range blasters firing 150 grain 6.5 bullets or some of the very long match grade bullets made these days. You may want to consider a 8 twist. I would.
