[QUOTE="stomp442, post: 873851, member: 70571"] I think the 6.5-284 used as a normal hunting rifle will last a very long time. These people you hear about burning out barrels after 800 rounds are probably match shooters that put much more stress on a barrel than any hunter will. I have a 6.5-284 that probably has at least 1500 rounds down the tube that still holds half moa or better at 600 yards with no signs of slowing down. I take it hunting and I kill targets all the time with it. It gets cleaned religiously every 200 rounds and never fires more than five shots strings. My point to all this is there is lots of variables that come into play when it comes to barrel ware. Take care of it and it should take care of you. [/QUOTE]
