    PFG, which scope was that? I've been thinking hard of returning to fixed 10x. Been quietly lamenting the discontinuing of the ST-10. Nik

    Gain twist barrels?

    Fascinating stuff and thinking! --both the gain twist and the left twist for RH-shooter. I am earmarking both for my next rifle. I'm especially intrigued with the potential for skid reduction on barrel entry--perhaps moreso than the potential to squeeze even more twist out of a barrel. It...
