May prefer to see a 22" & or a 24" barrel with the 7.5 twist as opposed to the 20" 1 in 8 twist. What is this, already beating them up over a rifle features for a rifle that has yet to be released? Yes while waiting for the release I am looking at other Howa options & am seeing other options that do have 22 & 24" barrels.
Then we look at current 110, 112 115 gr bullet options. do we wish to exclude these heavier bullets with a slower 8 twist barrel?
....I suspect Howa marketing is focusing more on the varmint and mid-sized game market and the "typical" projectiles used in those arenas. I have seen in other forums where folks have bought the 6.5 Grendel actions/rifles and just swapped out the barrels as the most "economical" conversion, seeing as how it's just a barrel swap.
