[QUOTE="Broz, post: 405776, member: 7503"] Ok, but compare this. What did it cost to install the new fishing line? I agree with you two 100%. But here is how I looked at it and I had to make a decision about the future of my rifle as time is a concern. As I stated, at the time of the call all they offered was 4 land rifling. I had concerns that the 4 land application may not be in my best interest after getting substandard accuracy. So even if they offered me a new one, I didn't want it. I had one and it didn't meet my expectations. They informed me the 4 land was fine for what I was doing and quote "this is how we make barrels". This was about 2 months ago. They didn't offer to inform me that they were getting ready to offer 5R barrels. Hmmm. Why? This was the reason I called, to discuss 4 vs 5 or 6 lands and my application. I am not trying to bash Kreiger, no, not at all. I have one of their barrels on a small cal and it shoots fine. Like I said before, in all fairness, anyone can make a bad barrel. Maybe I am taking off a good barrel. Maybe it is not even the barrel at fault. It is a new full custom build. It is completely apart and has been fully inspected again and again. I had to make a call to fix this rifle. My call was a new barrel and not one with 4 lands. Back to my first post, all the 5C and 5R 's I have been around were above normal custom barrel standards. If I knew for a fact it was the barrel and Kreigers fault I would seek reimbersment or replacement. But I won't know till I am done. It cost time and money to get a barrel in, get it properly installed, add a muzzle brake, brake it in, load development, compoenents, etc. . I chose not to go back with the same thing, I will soon know if I made the correct call. Jeff [/QUOTE]
