[QUOTE="Wile E Coyote, post: 649949, member: 28381"] My .02 from my experience's with the product. The first time I used a Tubb Final Finish kit was on a .308 Savage 99 aquired thru an estate sale. The rifle was a closet queen that probably hadn't seen the light of day much less a patch and oil in several decades. There was some rust in the bore and everywhere else for that matter. After a good cleaning, the gun would shoot a 2.5" group @100 off a sandbag with factory ammo. This was certainly good enough for my needs hunting whitetails in here in the east but I thought it could be better. Long story shortened, after using the full Tubb kit the gun groups the same ammo at just over 1" off a bag. The second time I used the product was 2 years ago on a brand new Remington 700 in .223. The gun shot ok but nothing to brag about. What bothered me the most was the fact that it would copper foul immediately and of course lose accuracy. It had some other problems too but that's another conversation. Anyhow, I was about to have it rebarreled and wasn't worried about ruining the barrel when I used most of a .224 kit on the gun; the result was quite dramatic. Today that gun will shoot the cold bore shot slightly high (1/4 minute) everytime. Everything after that is a 1/2 minute or less out to 400 or so. The target in the thumbnail below is 6 rounds at 125 yards or so. The shot a 9 o'clock was deliberately held left because I couldn't see te other 4. In the right situation, I'll use the product again. I won't use it on any of my aftermarket barrels yet. When one gets near the end of it's expected lifespan maybe I'll try it but that's going to be a while. And that once upon a time closet Queen is now my "go to" deer hunting rifle. At least when I'm hunting locally. [/QUOTE]
