That’s weird because Krieger has the custom page where you can get 11 and 11.25

Thanks for that. I’ll probably be posting more questions about my setup soon enough.

This probably gets me in more trouble than I’d like to admit. Didn’t mean to come in here with a lack of respect. Was just being a bit headstrong because I thought I knew what I wanted.

Tbh just research and calculators. I don’t see a problem running 130-180 on a 1:11 which I’ve convinced myself I’m getting. I also heard long range shooters typically run a certain 168 or 175 on the .308 No, the farthest I’ve shot was around 300 yards, the farthest deer I’ve shot was about 200. I’m also only getting an 18” barrel. My setup won’t really be match worthy. I just want to get into it and maybe one day if I get more serious I would just make a setup that’s not in the .308 I was a little more concerned about the aerodynamic stability but after a bit more researching learned that it isn’t a big deal at 1000 yards. Still just wanted to optimize for my grain though. I don’t think 1:11 will hurt anything there imo. Besides all that, I think I decided on getting a craddock made bartlein. Probably gonna run me up around 900-$1000 after it’s said and done. And then a JP LMOS.

Theoretically a 1:11 would be closer to the gyroscopic stability the manufacturers would recommend for a 175 over a 1:10 since that would be stretching it closer to over-stabilization. I’m not sure a 1:10 would be “better” until you start getting past 200 or 210.

I say 1:11 ish because of the grain I plan on using, and I do have the opportunity to shoot some steel around 700-1000 yards so proper twisting might be appropriate for those distances. I’m not trying to get into long range shooting too much but it would be great to learn. Was also unaware stainless didn’t get nitride. So thanks for that as well. Thanks I’ll check it out.

Was planning on doing a 6.5 Grendel build in the AR 15 platform, but decided it just doesn’t pack a big enough punch. So I want to do a 308 instead. Been looking around on google, the closest I came to getting what I wanted was a Krieger, but they don’t have 18 inch on their customs page. Here’s the specs I want. 18 or 18 1/2 inch, heavy barrel, 11-11.5 twist, Stainless steel, Nitrided, end of barrel threaded, planned on using somewhere between 150-180 grain bullets, going to take it deer hunting, would like to be able to shoot out to maybe 250-300 yards but most likely all my shots will be within the 200 range. Will also be my SHTF gun. Not a panic buyer. Not being stingy on price either. Looking for quality, and accuracy/precision if I ever wanna shoot paper or steel past 300 since I have the privilege (or just not miss a deer lol). Any recommendations on a BCG would be appreciated as well. Having a hard time finding the upper parts for this platform unlike the AR 15. Dunno if I need a gen 1 or 2, if that makes a difference. Just wanna start at the barrel and work my way back. Thanks in advance.
