[QUOTE="Huggy, post: 1621005, member: 101145"] I can appreciate your concern but it's all about the dollars and cents for the bean counters, honestly. And the manufacturers don't want product sitting on the shelves that isn't moving since it ties up Capital. I reckon they figure not many folks want a small caliber rifle with a gain twist these days, right? LOL However, if the gun manufacturer(s) would make known they have barrel "options" WRT twist rate and so on, I'd be inclined to think they could actually scoop up a share of the market place previously unexplored. Potential buyer plunks down his moola for a specific action/caliber/twist and the manufacturer snaps his fingers and SHAZAM! Buyer gets what he or she wants instead of just another copycat that is a cookie cutter gun. Yawn. Oh, and make barrel swaps a "relatively" easy project for the DIYer type not unlike how Savage makes their barrel attachment utilizing a barrel nut that is relatively easy to manipulate and ensure proper headspace. Granted it isn't the most aesthetically appearing barrel/receiver combo but it isn't overly garish in appearance, either. Form over function or something I reckon. All that aside, my caliber juices are starting to flow and I think it is time to explore a new barrel for my Savage .223 so it can toss out some heavier pellets. Although it does a remarkable job shooting everything from 52 grains up to 69 grains using SMK projo's. Not shot out by a long shot IMO but I have an itch to try some 75 grain and up pellets just because. What a GREAT hobby this is! Have Fun and Be Safe. Overnout [/QUOTE]
