Plenty of other people foaming at the mouth, waiting in line, wallet in hand, good sir.
Plus... I've come to the depressing realization that I can't really hunt elk much any more (at least in the usual haunts). ...And that was/is the primary purpose of my 444s.
What I have will still get used; but there isn't much point in adding to the herd.
Hand me a couple hundred thousand dollars, and my tone may change. In that case, I might go for a bushel or three of new 444s.

Should they rename it going to 20 twist, like .244 to 6 mm?

The 1:20" twist is already old news.
Marlin adopted the 1:20" twist and "Ballard" rifling for the Model 444 variants in 1998. It was the Marlin and H&R standard twist rate through the demise of H&R and Remlington's discontinuation of the 444 after the buyout.
