[QUOTE="Kevin Thomas, post: 541354, member: 15748"] Outlaw, I know a grand total of one guy at Sierra that I know has ever worked with a 6/284, and I seriously doubt he's ever worn out a barrel. Hey, I know what you mean. Barrels are threaded on at least one end, kind like they were meant to be replaced from time to time! Can't get too worked up about the barrel heating issue, either. Had one of my 308s pretty damned hot four different times this past Sunday. Mid range match at St Louis Bench Rest club. Each of the four matches consisted of 22 shots in not more than 22 minutes, and I usually try to wrap it up in less that 10 to get away from too many wind changes. Clear blue sky, bright sunlight and very high temps all combined with the shooting to make the barrel waaaay too hot to touch. Only way to get around that one is to build it, put it in the safe and leave it there. Otherwise, it's gonna get hot from time to time. Oh well. Not the first barrel I've had on that particular action and it sure won't be the last. [/QUOTE]
