I bought this rifle in the 70's and have used it to shoot a lot of animals. It's a .270 Win. and I believe is a 1:10 twist. It still shoots into an inch at 100 but I'm thinking about rebarreling to get a threaded barrel for a suppressor. I mainly use it for Pronghorn, deer, coyote, hog, and perhaps Black bear. Spot and Stalk is my main hunting method but I also do some stand hunting. I shoot a lot of 130 and 140 grain bullets (Nosler Ballistic Tips, Partitions, Accubonds, Sierra Game Kings, Hornady Interlocks, etc.)

What twist rate would you all recommend?
What barrel length?
What make?
How much?

Thanks,
Dave

That's a Scary rabbit hole you're standing on the edge of!!
Price everything out ahead of time for sure. It's hard not to just keep adding options. It's always slightly surprising how much the grand total was in the end😂😂
My last bart barrel was $550 plus the blank to have it chambered, threaded, and shipped.
 
10 twist is all you need to shoot the bullets mentioned.
Length, everyone has their favorite, for me with a 270. min. 22" I like 26, but if you are thinking a can, 20 - 22".
Barrel. I would thread the one that's on your rifle and if you don't like the length with a can you will know what length you want.
Barrel manufacturer- flip a coin. I'm not a fan of carbon fiber. A lot of money just for Looks. Hope this helps.
