I'm likely going to order an X2 soon, as well! I'm going 7-08 with an 8-twist 24" barrel. Going 24" as I like my rifles to be a slight bit muzzle heavy.
Maybe we should order together and get a good deal on the importation fee...
Jordan, did you talk directly to MRC about the 8-twist? When I asked about custom twists they told me they would treat/price it as one of their customs.
