[QUOTE="CMP70306, post: 2431663, member: 36999"] This is true, I believe the decision was made to use a 9 twist so they could also offer the lighter bullets for varminting without putting too much stress on the bullets. Also I like to collect rifles but I also like to shoot them so I tend to stay away from old rifles in chamberings with short barrel lives. That’s why my two pre 64’s are a 30-06 standard grade and a .300 H&H Bull Gun. In my post I was referencing the currently produced Model 70’s as they are all still 9 twist based on the 2022 shot show specials. I would have really liked one of the French walnut or maple stocked ones but I won’t buy it if I have to immediately rebarrel it when I already have a South Carolina made Model 70 in the safe that would be a much better contender for a Proof CF Sendero Lite .264 WM barrel.
