[QUOTE="blackbrush, post: 466877, member: 11280"] Good point/s. I would presume there are many different barrels (with respect to quality) as there are shooting disciplines. I should have narrowed it down considerably... And, yes sir, I bet .007"-.010" may be adequate for say a hunting rifle used in areas where 100 yards or less shots are the norm. I don't know but some smiths may have a tendency to build for their area's uses. (And I am on longrangehunting's website, not that-ought-to-be-about-right.com) For long range use that will result in precise accuracy what other "tests" will you insure the barrel meet/exceed? Borescope inspection? Pushing a lead slug through it? How important do you feel conveying the intended use or precision demands to the barrel maker is? Is there any "somewhat" consistency in quality control with those that produce accurate precision barrels? [/QUOTE]
