6.5 Barrel ?

Looking at a Bartlein in 8 twist for a 20' or so bbl in 6.5x47 for a short tac style hunting rifle i.e. an LTR config.

Thoughts on accuracy and bore life in 4 groove vs. 5R ?
 
FWIW, I have been very pleased with my Brux 1:8.5 barrel in 6.5. Their lead time was short, barrel is accurate, broke in quickly and doesn't foul terribly fast.
 
No difference at all.

Canted/radiused rifling has never been proven to be anything other than 'technical cosmetics'
 
+1 for the Brux I have a 6.5 x 47 L on my F-class rig that has a 1-8' Brux barrel on it. About 1,500 rounds and still going real strong.
