I'm in the process of having a .257 Roberts built on one of my Model 70s. For now, it is slated (and waiting) for the PacNor barrel to arrive. What I'm starting with is my bone-stock, blued, Classic Compact and having "RedNeck" rebarrel it with a PacNor SS .257, do some action work and bed it all back into the factory wood. Plus anything else he deems needing done at this time. I can see future plaans, after deer season, of possibly a McMillan stock and/or having all the metal coated to make it all one color. Looking for ideas and just want to see what everyone else has done. Thanks ahead of time... deg967

Beautiful rifle Steelhead. I'm gonna be shooting 100-110 grain bullets. If I remeber rite, the Smith I'm using advised 1:10. What are you shooting out of yours ?

I'd go 1-9", I've had some issues with 110 Nosler AB's in a 1-10". Trust me, an inch extra won't hurt but not quite enough will.

I'm shooting 115 ballistic tips in my .25's with no problem. Have done 120's too, again no problem with 1:10. Flinch

Seems you are interested in synthetic, but here is mine built by Jim Kobe who occasionally posts here: This was on a Model 70 Classic short action.

Here's one my dad put together on a small ring 98 Mauser. My son got his first deer with it last season. It loves 100gr Hornady's.

I'm not sure on the twist, I know its a Douglas barrel and would guess it is 1-10".

This thread has some GORGEOUS rifle porn! Wow, gents.... can't fault these Mauser and Winny, wood and blue Bob's! I only have one rifle with wood in this class and ocnsider myself fortunate to have at least one. Not a Bob so I won't put it up here, but I sure like looking at these.

Scott's right as far as the ROT. I have both 1-10 and 1-9 twist barrels on rifles in 257 and from now on will only put a 1-9 on. The tipped bullets are getting longer for weight and the 1-9 really shines.

Scott, very nice looking rifle. I'd also go 1-9" twist, had a 1-10" custom barreled 25-06 that would not shoot the heavier bullets at all well.(and lord knows, I tried)

1 in 9 here as well. 10 is right on the ragged edge of the longer bullets.
A Shilen I had with a "10" twist was more like 10 3/8". Up to standard 100 grainers were 5/8" at 100 yards. The 100 TSX, the 110 accubond, etc were 3" shooters. Not good.
1 in 9 is the safe way to go.
Anybody who seriously concerns themselves with the adequacy of a Big 7mm for anything we hunt here short of brown bear, is a dufus. They are mostly making shidt up. Crunch! Nite-nite!
