[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 645223, member: 5302"] Years ago, Remington barrels were button rifled; thanks to Mike Walker's work in getting that rifling process costs down to reasonable limits. They were the most accurate ones they made and very responsible for the Remington 7XX model's popularity and great factory rifle accuracy. Some years ago, they changed to hammer forged barrels. No rifle competitor winning and setting records uses hammer forged barrels that I know of; button or cut rifled ones bring home the trophies. Winchester's hammer forged barrels used in their post-'64 Model 70 .308 Win. target models were pretty good, but not the equal of the button rifled ones on Remington 40X target rifles. Savage button rifles their barrels. [/QUOTE]
