[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1311059, member: 74902"] 1) Sako/Tikka makes their barrels by hammer forging. Which is suspect as a way to make a premium barrel. What competitive shooter shoots a hammer forged barrel? 2) Hammer forging uses a mandrel that has a reverse image of the twist on it. They beat the living daylights out of it in a BIG hammering machine. It is mass production at the extreme. 3) Now they have thousands of 30 cal 11 twist barrels. They are NOT chambered. So, they take the barrels and cut some in 300 win mag, 308 win, 300 WSM, and some in 30-06, and Lordy who knows what else. This is why ALL of their 30 cal barrels are 11 twist. Not just 30-06! I have family seriously impacted by war as well. My grandfather fought at Midway. I do not buy rifles with Japan imprinted on the barrel. I cannot. Not a gun, other things are different. There are lots of gun makers in America who make superior rifles to anything made in Japan or Europe. I only purchase rifles made by Americans. My choice, But remember Americans died for your privilege to purchase elsewhere. Your choice. Lordy, Lordy, Lordy... [/QUOTE]
