The edge is a "no frills entry level hunting weapon". Savage told me on the phone yesterday that their 7-08 barrels are all 11.5 twist. Yet when I spoke with them previously, when I was thinking about .260 cal, they said they can make a 11 series with a .260 barrel for about $75 additional. So they make custom barrels ? Or a limited range of optional chamberings ? Can they make a 9 or 10 twist .284 cal barrel for $75 ? Their 7mm mag is 1:9 twist. ??? That cant be easily set back to 7mm-08, the case diameter is too big (?) So aftermarket barrels start at over $200, not counting any chambering finish work. Anyone know for sure ?
