[QUOTE="Playtimefun, post: 3070674, member: 103742"] I can't say for all the various manufacturers... but the local gunsmith here in Saskatoon told me one time that if it's a Remington with the serial numbers starting with A, B, C or D, that it took him half as much work to turn them into a good shooter then the guys with serial numbers after that. Secondly, a local barrel guy here in Saskatchewan was known internationally for his barrels (not sure if he is still alive... if he is I need a new barrel or 2 for projects yet to be dreamed of) but I will never forget his words about how you break in a barrel. If it's a good barrel, you shoot it... PERIOD. All to do with barrel quality and workmanship. In the end both guys were basically saying the same thing... good materials... good workmanship... some time and patience... and you get a dang good rifle in the end!!! [/QUOTE]
