[QUOTE="Deleted member 46119, post: 1082900"] I don't think it's "national sentiments" so much as familiarity. People like what they know and fear what they don't know. Many high end air rifles are LW barreled. US made or not. If the smith has to work harder to fit and chamber the barrel for the same accuracy, the smith might complain. If the owner gets a larger bill, the owner might complain. Both of those are not based on accuracy or durability. LW and non-LW barrels should last a hunter a lifetime. It's the rifle used extensively for other than hunting that would benefit from the harder LW steels. So, would a well fitted and chambered LW barrel last longer for say a 7RUM or 26-Nosler used for more than hunting or for a competition rifle shooting 3000 rounds per year or more. Would you be able to get 2 seasons out of it? [/QUOTE]
