Don't think there's anything wrong with my reading comprehension - you can't read what's not there.
I note that Mac D posted this over at AR:
With hammer forged barrels one doesn't need as much wall thickness. The barrels were considerable thicker before the hammer forgeing. What you are looking at is 1/3 more thickness compressed down by the hammering to the thickness you see in the finished product! Hammer forged barrels are tough stuff! That rifle would be great chambered for 450/400 NE 3"
There is a world of difference between "modern" steel at the turn of the last century and modern steel today.
I am not going to change your mind, that is clear. Your posts here come off as callig any DR under %50,000 as crap. You certainly went there with the Heym. Not real neighborly to the folks here who don't have that kind of money to throw around on a rifle. Like those of us that can shoot well with a 9.5 pound 470 nitro and not whine about recoil.
To each his own.
