[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1310439, member: 12995"] Because back in the day they didn't have long heavy high-BC bullets (like we do today), and most .30-06 shooters only shot 185 grain, or lighter, bullets. Also, their barrel rifling tooling is setup to make 1:11 twist .30 caliber barrels, and it costs ALOT of money to swap up that tooling for 1:10"... Most manufacturers are too cheap to spend the money to modernize their factory barrels to be compatible with today's bullets. Sadly, it basically comes down to stiff-wallet suits who don't want to spend the extra capital...Even though, if they did, they would sell even more guns. [/QUOTE]
