Don't have a bolt action, but looking at savage offerings made me start thinking about one. Now this from Ruger, I'm really thinking about one.

Yep...if you want to sling .452 heavies at speed, this is the one...22" barrel with 1-16 twist... :D

Yeah, I don't know why they went with that twist, but doesn't seem to affect accuracy. I know it's only a 5 groove, but I would like to see the actual rifling. I have 2 Black Hole Weaponry barrels in 450B, and those are 1:18 twist, but they have 3 very small grooves. In theory, they shouldn't raise pressure too much compared to the standard 6 groove Enfield rifling that is the most common in this cartridge. We shall see I guess.

Emailed Ruger about availability of this one...they said it is currently being produced and shipped to distributors, so may be out for sale very soon. MUST....HAVE....PRETTY....BOOM-STICK....!!!!

Note: If/when Centerfire Systems gets this in stock, they're going to be selling them for $497.99....SOLD!

Oh, this is a bad, bad thing. I had decided to avoid the 16” barrel, as dearly as I love my other American Rifles, because i heard horror stories about muzzle wash and noise... Like, “Well, there’s $500 I can’t afford and now don’t have to spend...” But now, all those feeble excuses are null and void!

Why?!? Why would anyone post this information where weak-willed immature people can see it?
