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?)

Cool looking rifle, love both yours and DVD's 257.
What bullet you going to run in your Swift, 50? Got any pics of your green 300 while you're at it?

See, this is a good looking rifle. A pig, but a nice rifle nonetheless. All this poor sucker had was a McMillan return stock and some other spare parts...

Nice. I recall that rifle now that you posted it. Both look very sweet. Using that 53 TSX on deer, I presume? It ought to knock the snot out of them pretty good.

I will prolly never shoot a deer with it, just varmints and I am betting it runs a tsx thru a hog's head pretty frequently.

You seemingly care a great deal and happen to whine wonderfully.
Congratulations?.....................

I will say that last picture is about as good as it gets...
