[QUOTE="ChrisP, post: 1119321, member: 6484"] I'm late to the discussion but very interesting reading. My single experience might be somewhat at variance with the published results. I have an accurate .223 HB varmint rifle that had a "mishap". I was riding the quad along a bumpy farm track and the mounting on the front gunrack yoke broke, the end result being the barrel skewered into the farm track which was semi-hard at the time. After carefully cleaning the debris out and checking for obvious damage, a test fire showed the accuracy had gone off dramatically. Back at my gunsmith buddy's place, he had a look at it and the only thing he could spot was a -very small- ding in the crown, hardly noticeable even with a loupe. We did nothing but recrown it and accuracy was immediately back to what I expected. [/QUOTE]
