Have you ever seen 10 twist be a hindrance to accuracy with the 150-155s? Or, same question with the 8 twist and 120-140s in 7-08?

I have never seen a quick twisted rifle shoot poorly with lighter bullets myself. I can’t see any negative to running fast twist with any well built bullet.

Next 300 will be an 8 twist just to get in on the heavier longer bullets that keep popping up.

I’d fast twist slows bullets and raises pressures in any meaningful way I cannot see it with my Magnetospeed.

Beware that the EH2 has a lot of heel drop, very similar to McMillans HTG. They do not fit me at all. Fit is subjective, just making sure you're aware.

So the EH2 looks similar to the McMillan Hunter format, which has a similar drop at heel. That is my favorite stock, so I'm guessing I'll be okay with the EH2. Curious why it doesn't fit you though...is it only in a particular shooting position?

As I think Scenarshooter mentioned, that #3 looks heavier than I expected. It doesn't scare me away from a 3B, but it's clearly not a sporter profile.
