[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 177023, member: 1290"] My 2005-2006-2007 catalogs cited the Criterion brand barrels as premium button rifled hand lapped barrels. The 2008 literature mentions niether. Now it just says: "Button-rifled, heavy contour free-floated 26" barrel with longitudinal flutes to trim weight and dissipate heat (.705 muzzle diameter )" I'm pretty sure they still shoot ok. Every Accumark barrel I have played with has been super smooth right out of the box. Very little to break in. Let's be sure not to lump in all Mark 5's. The wood stocked ones can be a real challenge to get to shoot. I mention one specific model. The heavy Accumark. They typically shoot 1/2 MOA with ammo they like. Due to the stock shape they take a firm hold to get them to group. If you let it free recoil it will spray them all over the place. [/QUOTE]
