You will be pleased, and I think the 12 twist will do all you want with most bullets you will shoot.
700 Sporter contour? Any idea on the weight? Looks about like a 221 SG&Y built that I once owned, got 2nd hand. PLENTY beef in that countour, for accuracy and holding.
Enjoy.
As it sits right now 7.4#
I was thinking it would come in around 7.5 without scope and rings. I got pretty close lol
Thanks for all the kind words, much appreciated.
