Never heard the term before, so what's it mean?

"Progressive rifling" is not the same as "gain twist", although an individual bore could have both. Progressive means a change in groove depth, generally starting out deeper and "progressively" becoming more shallow. It is similar to a choked bore but applied only to the grooves.Leatherbark said:My Pietta "Shooters" model has the progressive rifling and a silver looking plated trigger guard. Also a hair trigger and windage adjustable front sight like an Uberti...............Plus it'll put a ball through a gnats tail at 25 yards.............Bob
