MD,
Id love to know what that article is...id buy the back issue in a heartbeat.
As far as the barrels go...everyone I've ever owned shot damn well and a had very concentric chamber and throat. I always hesitate to mention accuracy as everybody brushes it off because finding an inaccurate gun online as you know is often hard. They are hammer forged BUT are hand lapped which is very obvious to anyone who's ever looked down the snout of one with a bore scope or cleaned one.
Ive got 3...all old models they never sold in the US and all in 308. The only big game rifles i own any more...i sold everything else because i could never bring myself to use them with the 550s in the stable.
