First rifle build , need a little help

[footindave]

I finally convinced myself to start a project build. Since I am a huge fan of the quarter bore I decided to purchase a Mack bros action for a 257 weatherby build.
Next step I contacted hart for a barrel 26" and pondering the 1 in 9 twist ( any thoughts on this?)

Barrel weight I would like to be a similar to a sendero weight or style not a heavy bull but not a sporter. I plan on having it fluted with 6 flutes.
This rifle will be shooting most likely 100 grain hammers or Barnes 100 grain Ttsx used almost exclusively for white tails and mule deer.

Any input would be great, just note sure of all the steps but was kinda thinking of sending hart the action and have them just install the barrel. , Thoughts or other options?

I have had a 1-9 and my current one is 1-7. I wouldn't really recommend a crazy fast twist 257, I thought the 130 class bullets didn't perform well. I like the 100-110 grain bullets. Hart does great work.
