BTW, FWIW I read today that the carbon barrels are hammer-forged, SS is button-rifled.
Source?
Not discounting, just curious.
Couldn’t remember where I saw it, so I went back over what I’d read. It’s in the online manual on page 11, BUT the website page below says they’re all button-rifled, perhaps since they went with Bergara barrels.
Discount all you want. I’m often mistaken, occasionally forgetful, and sometimes just FOS😜
