QUESTION?
I have a Sako S20 in 6.5 PRC. Great rifle. I want to put a carbon barrel on it. I am convinced that having a 7.5 or 7 twist on this caliber would be beneficial, especially if I want to run loads similar to the Hornady ELDX 143. I am also convinced that the only real benefit to a cold hammer forged barrel that is offered on most stoeger rifles is that no break in is required. This makes sense for a person who would have this gun their entire life and only use it as a hunting rifle. Having a bit less weight wouldn’t hurt once I get my precision front end and a few attachments.
My ideal end game is a S20 with:
Carbon barrel (proof, Bartlein, or boss)
CTR forward set trigger
Precision front end, hunter back end
Do these rifles use the same barrels as t3x light?
Who offers a carbon barrel for this rifle?
