[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 567913, member: 10"] Its hard to say, I have several 338 AX rifles with well over 1000 rounds down the tube. If cared for properly and hot over heated, it would not suprise me to see 1500 or even more with good accuracy. In all honesty, I have yet to have a customer "shoot out" a 338 AX barrel but I would suspect they will start wearing out barrels in the next 3-4 seasons with the older rifles. Again, just depends on how you shoot your rifle. Many of them will easily last a lifetime of serious long range hunting usage on the original barrel. That is the beauty of the 338 AX, very high performance and great barrel life. I would estimate that the ABS barrel may add 10% to the life over a conventional barrel. In my opinion, main benefits are not in extended barrel life but more in weight saving performance. [/QUOTE]
