This may be as good a subject as any to ask the question. Compared to a standard Smooth Twist barrel, is the Smooth Twist X barrel liner in outer (shroud?) as stiff (resistant to bending), both elastic and plastic deformation? And how would either compare against the standard LW barrel? The liner itself appears rather fragile, but perhaps the outer barrel shroud (?) is as stiff as a regular non-two piece barrel system? I don't have the X, but I do have guns with ST and LW barrels...
