andybrock Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 I've just been watching the shooting show and they have been testing a Remmy .243 VTR rifle which has a triangular barrel, this is claimed to loose heat quicker because it has a greater surface area than a round barrel and it's also claimed it makes it much more rigid. Do you think this would be true or is it just a gimmick? Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris-NZ Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 Eggzackery. Never fired one but a serious shooter I know has one (scored it for a song..) and it's a tackdriver straight out of the box. That's still no proof the barrel design is responsible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunsgobang88 Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 Hi, I've sold a couple of these and the customers have been delighted, both have been sub moa with factory ammo. The only downside is the floppy SPS type stock. I agree that the triangular barrel is a marketing gimmick and the muzzle brake is hardly a necessity in .204 or .223, Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Well,it could be measured,but not easily-cf barrel fluting.Mind you,I haven't seen many round barrels bend or melt after even an extended 3 shot grouping test...I quite liked it,and realistic benefits may well be more than from electronic ignition....
