[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 506121, member: 25383"] reason why is simple. Gunsmiths loose money by going with a nut. But if you check the factory benchrest shoots you will see the vast majority of rifles using barrel nuts. And if you go to an F Class shoot you will see lots of barrel nuts. If you got deep pockets and think your gunsmith can walk on water; then so be it. Lastly the weak point in the barrel line is the root diameter of the barrel thread. It is not capable of securing a barrel in a shoulder lockup without flex. The weak point with a barrel nutted barrel is still the root diameter of the thread. But with the thread in tension it becomes part of the female (allbeit not 100%). That 1 1/4" diameter means little when the root diameter is flexing. Lastly if you think the shoulder seated barrel stays seated when you fire that .300 mag I have a bridge for sale. gary [/QUOTE]
