[QUOTE="goodgrouper, post: 185881, member: 2852"] Here is that thought again. Ahh, 1000 rounds is plenty of life for a hunting gun. Well, it is for a "normal" hunting gun. But long range hunting is different. It requires (or should require) many, many more practice sessions and many more rounds fired throughout the year than a "normal" hunting gun. If you just shoot 20 rounds at a 500 yard gong per year and then go hunting with full intent of killing something "way out there", you are giving long range hunters a bad name. I'm sorry. NO ONE is good enough to only shoot 20 or 30 rounds per year and then shoot well at 1000 yards on demand anytime. And by the way, I do this stuff for a living and I have seen guns with smaller capacities burn out barrels in half the time you are quoting. I have seen 300 ultras firecracked beyond imagination after 900 rounds and the 7mm caliber is going to be worse no matter how you slice the pie. If you got more than 1000 rounds of accurate barrel life from a Lazzeroni 7mm, you would be the exception rather than the rule. [/QUOTE]
