[QUOTE="sidewinder, post: 8266, member: 1841"] Thanks for the reply Len. The article I read that in was shooting times. The test rifles were a 2000 lazz 27" 6 groove 1:12 twist vs TRG-S w/26" 4 groove 1:11.They state that the 4 groove 1:11 seems to be consistantly slower than the 6 g 1:12. Sako uses that barrel because they feel the 4 groove barrel will give a little more barrel life. Sounds to me like I'll be lucky to get 1000 rds out of any of them including the 300rum. Maybe I'll just shoot the barrel out of a 300rum and have it improved. I failed to mention the test was done using a 7mm firebird. You got me thinking where I read that and I started digging and I found it in the sept/oct 2002 s/t. Got stuff spread everywhere lookin. I've been having fun watching this sight the last couple days, but I'm going to have to take a break for a week. My son is graduating from boot camp at camp Pendelton and I can't miss that.
