Shaw Rifles

Twelve Pointer
Anyone own or used one of these? Not necessarily looking for a tack driver, mainly just curious if they feel like a quality firearm that’s worth the extra price over something like a regular Remington 700 or Winchester Model 70. Feel free to post photos if you have them too!

Old Mossy Horns
That's a good looking firearm.

Why do some barrels have that helical fluting? Is it for cooling, rigidity, both?

Main reason for fluting is weight saving and looks. It should actually make it less rigid because you are removing material. And most people on hunting rifles dont shoot them enough for any heat to be any factor.
