I'd say 7.5" thats what the standard twist for the 25 creed so I would think alot of the new bullets would be based around that. That said hammer has one or 2 of theirs that need a 7"
I really like the 6.5RPM but haven't convinced myself to get one yet. the LGS have an Accumark Pro on a deep discount and when I asked to see it the guy mentioned there has been some quality issues with the newer Weatherby's with the head spacing Not sure this is true or not, has anyone else...
+1 on this
There are alot of barrel manufacturers that make a prefit for certain actions. Sure everyone does the 700, but there are alot of options for the Tikka which would probably be my choice if i were choose an action from a donor rifle.
I second the neetsfoot if you have some already, other options would be some boot oil/conditioner, I like Obenauf's leather oil for softening and helping break in leather
I honestly chuckled a little when this was finished because without anything for scale it looks like a leather rifle scabbard. Im happy with how it turned out, couple of slips but all good. Got a little ahead of myself stitching, was going to add some cartridge loops. It will serve its purpose...
