[QUOTE="eric2381, post: 442837, member: 16051"] [SIZE=2][COLOR=#191970]Hello, I have a rifle that I shoot quite a bit during the summer. It's a custom 7mm rem mag. The action is a stainless M70 classic. The barrel is a 26" Douglas premium. It sits in a McMillan A3. Anyways, I have around 800 rounds through it. Looking down the barrel, the leading edges of the rifling look nice and square still. When cleaning it, the rod has quite a bit of resistance at first, then it smoothes out for the rest of the barrel. I'd say that it's the first inch or so. My accuracy isn't what it used to be. Is it time for a new barrel, or can I do something to smooth it out and get next summer out of it? Thanks for your time, Eric[/COLOR][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
