Customizing a Winchester 70 .375 H&H. Any suggestions ?
      23/12/06 01:31 AM

Hello everybody ! I plan to do some improvements on my Winchester 70 Classic Stainless in .375 H&H mainly because the accuracy is below my standards. For this reason I plan to invest in a high quality barrel combined with a new and better stock. The stock of my choice would be from Accurateinnovations, the model Accurate Hunter Laminate. The brand of barrel is easy, because here in Germany anything else than Lothar Walther will be difficult to obtain. But since I prefer heavy bullets of at least 300 grains and also don't need nor like velocities over 730m/s ( 2400 fps ) I am not sure about the best rate of twist, which could be ordered to my wishes. As far as I know, the standard rate of twist is 1:12 inches, so a somewhat shorter rate would be better to stabilize the long Barnes TSX 300 grainers or even heavier bullets. Has anyone here on the forum some advice or suggestions ? Thanks in advance and a happy christmas and a successful hunting season 2007 !!!
