Can you imagine how many 22-250 Montana's they would have sold if they hadn't screwed up the twist? Hell, I pre-sold 50 in less than 24 hours before they flip flopped. Thank God I didn't take any money up front!
A 1 in 8" 22-250 would eat up a big chunk of their rifle production capacity.
1:8 243's would be nice. Seems that the Creed is about perfect though.
True story...
Last year at SHOT I had a meeting with a rifle manufacturer that we both like and is known for accuracy. They were showing me their new rifle that was soon to be released and they asked for suggestions and opinions on the product.
I suggested the mag box thing and brought up twist -- specifically the 243 and 22-250. One of their top foreign engineers -- with a bad haircut -- looked me straight in the eye and said, "Can't happen. Bullets will shred in midair!!". (In his foreign accent) I laughed and asked him if he was f*****g kidding me. He left the room. I guess I insulted his intelligence?
I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!
