[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 148650, member: 10"] Buzzgun, I will make you a deal, give me 1/2 what that PSG-1 will cost and I will build you a bolt rifle that will out shoot it with a plain old fashioned threaded barrel. TO be honest, for $5K you could get the rifle and a quality scope as well!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] While those rifles may or may not have pressed fitted barrels, I would be interested to see if they are more consistantly accurate then a quality built conventional threaded barreled rifle. There may be a reason they cost $10K, it may be because of how the barrel is fitted to the receiver!!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Again, I do not see an improvement here. I am certainly not against trying unconventional things but I am only willing to invest the time and money on a new idea if it appears to offer substantial improvement on paper while looking at it with a realistic and practical point of view. There are always risks involved with pushing the envelope in any area. I just prefer to have a fair likelihood that a new idea will be worth it before spending the time and money. In this instance, I would say I do not see the potential advantage but that does not mean it is not there. Only one way to know for sure and thats in real world testing. Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
