6x47 Barrel Twist

[msb6]

Hello all new to this website...
I am planning on making a 6-6.5x47 using 105's and 107's for long range target shooting. What twist do you recommend? I am also going to build a varmint rifle with the same caliber but shoot an 80 to 90gr bullet in it. What twist would you recommend for it? Thanks, this is a very informative web site!

Thanks guys. I will start looking at different barrel manufacturers now.

You may want to give Bartlein Barrels consideration. They are turning out some very premium cut rifled barrels these days. I just did a magazine article on them that was published in this month's Precision Shooting Magazine. I have a number of their barrels now - great barrels!
