[QUOTE="Deleted member 103481, post: 1977101"] I did not point that out, that was someone else my point was only that comparing a custom cut rifled blank to a custom CF barrel may not be directly analogous to savage offering proof barrels instead of a savage barrel. There are many considerations under that broad point. Maybe savage got a deal from proof that is not sustainable for other manufacturers? Maybe the profit margin on that specific gun is not realistic for many offerings... or even that one in the future.(this has been known to happen many times before) maybe proof won’t be able to make enough profit with the demand they got for tossing savage a wicked deal... who knows? i will say I HIGHLY doubt savage has the same investment in each steel blank as Bartlein, I bet it’s not even close. and if that’s the case we have a few options savage is making less on this rifle than the steel version or Proof is making less on these barrels than their other ones. is it sustainable? We will find out! [/QUOTE]
