Order a 3-groove Pac-Nor, 1-8" twist. Solid performance.

I'd have to agree with 10rams. I put a Pac-Nor 3 groove 1in 8 twist on my standard and it out shoots my Lilja hands down. If I had the extra 3:-O la i would take the Lilja off the hunter and put another Pac-Nor on. I'm in the process of putting together a highpower hunter rifle for the girlfreind and a Pac-Nor is whats going to be put on her action. :-t wait a minute just had a guiness moment, build another hunter for me and give her the hunter that I have now with the lilja barrel on it "BRILLANT" =))

I used a 1 in 9" twist barrel in a 7mm BR for a few years, with exceelent accuracy, with 168 gr. Sierra HPBT match bullets. You can't go wrong with eithe 8 or 9 rate of twist.
