question about barrel conture for 223

[cornhusker]

I would like to get some professional opinions from you pros as to barrel I should have for modified f class shoots..These at short range shoots..350 yards..

Would I be better off to have a varmit barrel or a bull barrel for these shoots..I am thinking I might want a 8 twist as well...Curious if one will be better over the other and maybe some sound reasons,as to why...223 cal...thanks Toad

8" is where it's at,though I drive 7,7.7,8,9,10,12 and 14's. Contours run the gamut from sub #1 to straight 1.350" bull.

Bore interiors,matter far more than their exteriors.

I run a 6.5 twist as a result of poor planning, but in varmint contour. 82 bergers scream at 2900 out of my brux, and it hammers. A good barrel/action/stock/BEDDING job won't walk on you...

My "do over" twist and barrel combination after this one dies is a 7 twist Brux at 22". Varmint contour, of course.

Agree, 8 is where it's at, but I also shoot a 7.7. Bull or varmint should be fine. My favorite is my 20" 7.7twist 1.350 straight taper. Shoots lights out!

Last I counted,I had (13) 223AI's,though I suffer 223 SAAMI too. Of the 223AI's pictured here,twists run the gamut from a Rock 7" up top,to a 14" Hart at bottom. Contours run from sub #1 to straight 1.350"(at 24").

Nice rifles

I see you have a hinge barrel on the urban camo one.
