chrome line 1/7 all the way. is well worth the extra $125.
you are a good husband.

What are you going to shoot with it?
Sorta depends on what he's gonna be using it for. A friend of mine has a 1/7 twist and it seems to handle the 55gr. bullets ok. Anything lighter and he starts throwing keyholes though. I you want to shoot 40gr spitzer rounds I'd go with the 1/9 twist.Why not get a lined 1/9? I've read the 1/7 is too much twist to shoot the target size rounds (55gr and under). It's said that the smaller rounds can be torn apart.

Cheapest tends to be 50-55 gr. Were I in your position, I'd look for a chrome-lined 1/9 or 1/8. Both will stabilize the more inexpensive factory ammo and still let you move up to the heavier bullets if/when you start loading.Basicly I'll be shooting whatever is cheapest at first (probabaly wolf)
You hit the nail on the head! The terms "cheap" and "75gr" (or 77grn) do not belong in the same sentence. I'm not sure about the 77grainers, but I think a 1:9 will stabilize a 75 grain projectile just fine. Maybe someone has hard data/testing that can chime in.Cheapest tends to be 50-55 gr.
