[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1270792, member: 12995"] As a metal fabricator and someone who's done a lot of other random construction and industrial jobs in my short life, I can tell you that I do not like the push-pull design of the barrel nut. It reminds me of a stud-collar, or a linkage collar, and I've seen those loosen-up over time and bumping around (like recoil). IMO, a torqued crush-fit right-hand threaded (and rifled) barrel is a more guaranteed fit, and will also not come loose (not saying the barrel nut does, just saying that it COULD). The less moving parts the better. Simplicity in design without the nut. As to my other reasons, I would rather not get into it, because most of them are personal reasons based on my hands-on experience with the rifles, dealing with supporters and Remington bashing, and such. Remember, I also used to like Weatherbys, too...Till I owned one, and learned my lesson. These days I stick with the 700's, Model 7's, and Browning A-Bolt II's. Still got a few old M77 MKII rifles and some other random stuff, but they mostly sit. [/QUOTE]
