It is just the value for money aspect and the fact that I know Sako discontinued the Finnfire because it was too well built for the money they could get for it. After all the Quad is NOT a cheap rifle and -as your experience indicates-very few shooters actually use the barrel change facility a great deal if at all.
the quad is about as good as it gets for a rimfire and lets face it the differences between a cz and an anschutz is irrelevant when you are rough shooting as both are accurate enough for the ranges they get used at.

i bought it with the full intention of getting a hmr barrel but went off the idea after reading about all the ammunition issues.
