[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 1492850, member: 94491"] Yes its 9.5 twist...I measured it when I got home while cleaning the bore that's how I knew it was wrong. yes..the xbolt has a long mag (1 of the reasons I bought it over a tikka) Mudrunner, he is willing to get me the right gun BUT not for the same price ( i would have to pay $145 more) because browning increased their price by several hundred dollars on the new fast twist rate barrels apparently his price with no profit on the 1:8 twist rifle is $775 ( which is what he offered to sell it to me for) browning's suggested retail is $980, so he would sell it to me for $200 less than what browning suggests....it is really brownings fault as they should never have used the same upc/part number for the 1:8 twist as the 1:9.5twist rifles. Go check out their website, all the hells canyon LR rifles are the same way--- heck, some other guys may be in the same boat with a $1200 or $1800 hells canyon rifle and not know it ( as they changed to fast twist rate this year also but are still using the same upc/part number too)....supposedly the only way to tell without actually measuring is that the new fast twist rate barrels are stamped with the cartridge and twist rate-- old ones just have the cartridge.... The vendor ordered this rifle in 2018 and received it in August of 2018 from browning thinking it was the fast twist rate rifle as he ordered using the upc/part number on brownings website...browning sent a 2017 old twist rate rifle to him. I do not expect the guy to lose $ due to brownings screw up, and you know browning doesn't care, they did say he could get on a back order list for the new rifle at the new price but that's it. With any internet gun sale they always throw the "terms of sale" out there but no one reads them or understands them...every internet gun sale is "final non-returnable" so I feel this vendor is going out of his way to make it right-- he could have told me to pound sand as I had already accepted shipment and went through the ffl transfer process--if you read my 1st post he is also willing to pay for shipping back to him and give me a full refund (including shipping) on my cc if I want it, that was one of the options. Like mudrunner, at first I was pretty upset when I found out, then I shot him an email and he actually responded to me at 11pm hhis time to tell me he would call browning in the morning and call me back with options he also told me right off the bat that he would give me a full refund if I wanted to send it back . I feal the vendor is making it right and trying to fix brownings mistake. [/QUOTE]
