Been on this site as a lurker for 2+ years and this thread prompted me to register.
Well, hey, they say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
I agree with the merits of PaleWhiteCracker's question on the reason for the 1X14 twist, and that he was treated rudely.
So I will answer the question re why the 1X14 twist: as the owner apparently wants to shoot light[er] weight bullets, and gee, that isn't so tough to answer, it's not like admitting to being a pornographer or something worse, is it...BMD?
Personally, I don't care at all for the looks of these two Kampfeld rifles [Mr. K is just building what the customer wants, so no reflection on Mr.K, his tastes, or his skills...]. These two K rifles are gaudy, and the names engraved ON SAME are not something I would be caught dead with by another hunter.
Spiral barrel flutes?? Unless proven to shoot one-hole groups at 500 yards...NO WAY and GIVE ME BREAK! Why not put the money into a silencer (if their legal in your neck of the woods), or a new camera, or a diamond necklace for the wife?
But hey, they're your rifles now...
(How is that for a warm and snuggly rookie user's first post?)
