As said above, an interesting thread but perhaps almost pointless until such time as the ST barrels become widely available in bores, lengths and diameters that will permit individuals to buy and fit (or have fitted) them to their own actions. There seems to be a number of people on this forum who have tried ST barrels, but I'm getting the feeling that unless you buy an FX rifle they are not generally available (although it appears that BR shooters in the States have a source).
I think it would be helpful if someone in the know (Ben, I presume?) would post a list of who is presently offering ST barrels to the general public and in what sizes, that way the detractors could have a look for themselves. I didn't find Terry Doe's recent magazine article of much use other than to give the impression that a final design for the ST has yet to be decided as tests are continuing with different twist rates etc.
Are these barrels in widespread use? I'm confused........ but that's easily done
