[QUOTE="JUDD, post: 385861, member: 8739"] I built a 6-284 2 years ago for this same thing. Groundhog hunting. Two years later I only have 400 down the tube. I've done allot of shooting nonsense stuff in between also. So far at 400 rounds it still shoots 5 shot groups under a dime at 100yd and ES and SD in the single digits yet. At this rate I suspect I will have at least another 2 to 3 years out of this barrel before I have to set it back. 4-5 years for me I more then got my money out of the barrel. However I don't let it get hot and I keep it clean. Also I am nowhere even close to pushin this round to it's potential which will make a differance. When you look at rounds you will get also look at how long it will take you to shoot that many. This may make things look a little better...it did for me anyway. [/QUOTE]
