[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1393666, member: 12995"] Steve, I agree 100%, but at the same time, a 1:8 twist is not going to have any adverse effects on a 140-168 grain bullet, so shooting most factory ammo shouldn't be a problem. And for those who want to shoot the heavy modern 180-195 grain bullets, it's a blessing to see a rifle company that's not afraid to step up their game and evolve with the sport to allow their customers a choice and the capability to be able to choose any 7mm bullet that is now being offered. I see this being a HUGE positive for Browning's sales, especially given how well their factory rifles shoot. This is going to give your average guy a TRUE factory LR rifle option that won't require a gunsmith, wait time, extra gunsmithing fees, and they can walk in to the store, and walk out with it that day. Other manufacturers need to take notice of this market potential. I hope Remington and others follow suit. Remington sort of half-assed it, and put 5R rifling in the new 700 AWR rifle, which is a good thing... But then they went and pulled a stupid and used the old 9.25" twist... You really have to wonder what they're smoking in their R&D department. :confused: [/QUOTE]
