[QUOTE="nmbsniper, post: 2567337, member: 97234"] My police sniper rifle had 10k documented rounds. It started life as Remington 700 30-06 in the 80's. It was sent to H&S Precision about 1989 and re-barreled into a 308. When I received it a few years later it had less than 400 rounds thru it. I shot between 80-140 rounds per month on average. I competed at Snipercraft for many years and continued to go thru several police sniper schools in addition to regular training. At 9500 rounds it continued to hold less than 1 MOA. We we able to get funding for new rifles and I was allowed to purchase my rifle from the city, the complete package with Pelican case, for $100. I decided that at 10k rounds I'd re-barrel it into a 300WM. That's were it has been for the last 10 years or so. Barrels that shoot magnum rounds won't last as long, 1500 or so. My 308 barrel showed signs of wear at the throat I was told by the rifle builder. [/QUOTE]
