I am in the market for a new 223 and was looking at the Elite Precision in 223 but I can't seem to find any info on the barrel that is used except for the fact that it is 26". Does anyone know anything about the barrel?

It will be a button rifled barrel like any other Savage. Their website says its a 7 twist so you can load up the heavy 90gr rounds if you want. And based on pics of the barrel nut it looks like a large shank.

I am guessing burning out this barrel in 223 would take a long time?
