Steve,
Lots of things in your post were interesting.
I like the idea of hard-chroming the action if for no other reason than the galling that so often comes with stainless against stainless. I know a LE officer in town that carries a Sig 220 that has been hard-chromed; he swears by it.
I was shocked at the weight and the bipod. Sounds like a varmint rifle for BIG varmints. I'll bet that rifle doesn't get carried in your hands much.
But the most interesting thing is the accidental gain-twist barrel. Doubtlessly Pac-Nor must wish they could turn one of those "boy barrels" out whenever they wanted to.
Thanks for the details. Now, I've been having a hankering for a .250 Savage AI lately (a fellow can come up with all kinds of great ideas while sitting on a deer stand for two and a half months) so how about the skinny on your better-half's rifle. What I'm thinking about is something like a walking varminter lay out. What is Karen using? RS
