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.

I was going with the 7.5 twist because I've read that will help keep the bullet stable longer once it reaches transonic(I think thats the word) speeds.
