    When it comes to profit wording can be manipulated to mean a lot of things

    Regarding all the articles about smooth twist, I would take it all with a pinch of salt at the moment. All the reviews and articles so far (that I have seen) have been in magazines and magazines rely on advertising (both current and future), read into that what you will.

    I've never seen a smooth twist, let alone tried one, but when I do I'll bear in mind that there's a lot of external forces that can / will try to influence peoples opinion of them.
    As someone who has actually carried out tests on a SmoothTwist barrelled Ruger10/22 and achieved fantastic results with it at 100 yards, I take exception to a prick like you saying that I have been influenced in any way! You are of course entitled to your opinion, but as you have stated, you've never seen a smooth twist, let alone tried one, so why don't you just **** off until you have!

    There, stick that in your (non SmoothTwist) pipe and smoke it, as my Gran used to say.
