[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 789472, member: 2736"] I,m Sorry you don,t believe that a rifle can have over 20,000 rounds through it and still shoot. When I tried out for the rifle team at Paris Iland I was given an armory rifle that had over 75,000 rounds through it and managed to qualified anyway. It wouldn't shoot 1/2 Mao groups but was a consistent 1 MOA shooter. As I said earlier, there are a lot of reasons that a barrel gets shot out and one poster stated shot out means different things to different shooters. My match rifle is in 308 win and has a heavy hart barrel and the loads that were the most accurate were under 2700 ft/sec. this was the only match rifle that I could afford and it was taken very good care of. I used it to compete in 200, 300, 600,1,000 and on occasion 2,000 yard Creedmore matches and to be completive it had to shoot sub 1/2 Mao. I still have this rifle in its original condition and would be happy to show you the match book (It has all the matches it was use in and the round count of those matches)and the accuracy of the rifle if you would like to see it, I would be happy to demonstrate it for you. Is This unusual ?Yes . is it common ? No but it does and has happened Before. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
