Reynolds357, I agree. I just hope they don't use the Remington 710/770 as a design platform. The Sauer 101
http://www.sauer-101.com is a better specimen of the "lugs locking in the barrel" design. The only thing I don't like about it is that the barrel, just like the 710/770, is pressed on. I understand that makes it easier to line up the slots for the locking lugs and get proper headspacing at the same time. But if they could somehow incorporate the Savage barrel but system into that design I'd be a bigger fan of it. If you want to change a barrel that's pressed in, you're going to have to heat the reciever, pull the barrel out, heat the receiver again, get the barrel pressed in and lined up, then heat and re-harden the receiver. I'd much rather have a rifle that I could do an easy at-home barrel swap with than a rifle that most gunsmiths don't even want to mess with.
