    The only reason to go for the faster twists in a 308 barrel is if you think at any point in the future youmight like to try specialist subsonic projectiles like Lehigh and Cutting Edge etc.
    Since most hunters find the cost of these far too butt puckering there is not much point in a faster twist for them. Those who want to use them or do use them already know whats needed to do so.
    The 16 inch Bergaras are very portable. I have one.
    if someone made a bolt action 308 with 1-8 twist 20 inch barrel everyone would be happy.
    veitnamcam and viper like this.
