If I am mistaken in this, I hope to be corrected :-) ... Thanks Jim
True Jim,

They drill the action out to accommodate the Large Shank Barrel. I don't see the advantage. Unless their saying the Large Shank Barrel is stronger vs. the Small Shank's. The action looses strength with Large Shank options.
