frontier gander said:Okay got an email from Dudley this morning. Heres what he has to say about the Optima/Wolf and the Scout barrels:
" As for the Optima barrel, they are indeed made in the same facility as Bergara Barrels. However, they do not go through as extensive a honing process as do the barrels that are branded as Bergara. This honing process is what eliminates any variation in bore diameter, and it is time consuming and expensive to perform."
So basically they are bergara barrels, they just dont go through the expensive processing that the true bergaras go through. That explains why the prices are so affordable on the new optimas,wolf and scout.
Thats what i was guessing, basically the same barrel stock. My Apex BPI barrel has spots you can feel while seating the sabot but the Accura feels more consistent the entire length.
Thanks FG
