[QUOTE="Black Diamond 408, post: 152865, member: 1563"] I have had a lot of the "barrel burners" over the years. In my infinite wisdom i have figured this out, you can make a bbl last if you keep it very clean, dont over heat it and dont over load it. If your building a rifle that you know will be used mostly for hunting and very little target practice, the barrel will last a long time. The average hunter dont shoot more than 20 rounds a year, going by the midwest farmer clan that i delt with for over 30 years. They would fire a few shots before deer season and go hunting, put it away until next year. Not all sportsman are like this but it does put it into perspective, if this is your type of rifle shooting the rifle will last a long long time. Dave [/QUOTE]
