[QUOTE="LouBoyd, post: 541997, member: 9253"] Barrels are made to be replaced. That why they screw on to the action. If you shoot it out from lots of practice or plinking you can rebarrel it in 260 Rem, 7mm-08, or 308 Win which will all last longer. In my opinion 1500 rounds is acceptable. Be glad you didn't buy a 223 WSSM 264 Win Mag, 7mm Rem Ultra, or 30-378 Weatherby which are good for 1000 or less. Even for these hot chamberings the ammo to burn it out costs several times more than a replacement barrel. If you think about it in terms of the time the barrel is actually in use with a bullet going though, a 243 Win barrel has a working life of about three seconds. [/QUOTE]
