[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3838541, member: 15054"] I would not want a threaded barrel I have had them and I have no use for them. Now the object its to keep it lighter than a heavy barrel for packing. Now a threaded barrel assumes you are going to screw something onto the end of it. Not a smart move for keeping weight down and keeping it short and easy to swing onto the target. I have a Savage Axis with a threaded barrel in .223 and it is a sporter weight barrel and necked up to fit the threaded end. But behind that necked up area the barrel is actually thinner than my non threaded Savage Axis .223 I love my Savage 18" 10 SR. in .308 but it is heavy. Stupid accurate and easy to hold steady because it is heavier and has a wider forearm than the Axis. Stiffer stock on the model 10 also and the Axis stocks need some tweaks to make them stiffer. Easy and cheap though. I wish they were a bit wider or flatter on the forearm though. I have thought of making them wider with some epoxy, Not like you are going to hurt it . I think I gave 150 each for them. [/QUOTE]
