[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 873793, member: 61747"] Mil spec for the m40 used to be 10000 rounds for 1moa or less. This instructor was well under that. I believe it took 45 rounds after complete copper removal to get back to .5moa. I have the 6.5-284 with about 800 rounds down the tube on a stock savage SS fluted varmint barrel. I have been playing with a bore scope and talked to a trusted smith today about errosion. I will take it to him to look at as well but we discussed what I saw in the bore scope and he thinks it is fine. I do too actually. It still shoots well enough. I have no clue how long it will last though. This is my first one and I have had for about 9 months. I am going out Friday to shoot LR with a friend and see how it does. Been shooting .5MOA out to 1300 if I do my part. I do think peace of mind is nice to have and the 7mm/.284 seems to give that good blend of performance and durability. Probably the right way to go.
