[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 3099953, member: 313"] If you ask the benchrest guys they will tell you that they replace them every year. Some guys say to replace them after 1,500rds, or so. I might add that rifles that are put away for the season, with the firing pins in the cocked position (rather than relaxed), would probably shorten the serviceable life of a spring. I always relax the pin/spring after cleaning my rifles and before they are put away for any period of time. And yeah - I've got a few safe queens that are rarely shot. I replaced all of my springs with Chrome Silica springs from Gre-Tan. IIRC, they only cost about $10. At that price, it sure wouldn't hurt to replace old springs that have seen decades of service.
