[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 820750, member: 35183"] If you are determined to get a sporter, still get one from a good name. Shilen, Mc Gowan, Krieger etc all make sporters where the bore/rifling/lapping is carried out to the same degree of precision as a varmint contour. On the other hand, in factory made rifles, the sporter barrel is the lowest common denominator and the quality is typically worse than the varmint barrels made in the same factory (people have higher expectations when they pay extra for a varmint barrel). If you get a factory rifle with a sporter barrel, it is a total crap shoot, excuse the pun... [/QUOTE]
