[QUOTE="Gamesniper19, post: 2746418, member: 95013"] I hear you and thanks for sharing...but what i saw on the site was different? Triple stress relieved (website says double stress relieved), hand polished (website says double hand lapped), and finished to ensure no chipps or issues - doesn't say that, is your smith looking at them again cause they know they are going to you and would they do that for everyone else? Why double hand lapped? Cause button rifling causes enormous stress....and lapping is only as good as the person lapping the barrel, doing it twice could impart issues if the person isnt super careful. And why twice? My point is, with cut rifling there is significantly less after rifle "finishing" that needs to happen so less chance for another hand, another process, and another set of variable to be put into the barrel. cut rifling is more expensive and slower too, which is why so many have gone to buttons....volume makes money Lastly - i agree, if you get a barrel that good - you may never have to break it in. Easy peesy, but not all of us are going to run Benchmark and get maybe the "perfect" barrel so if someone wants to run 20 rounds through a rifle and "break it in" and there is no downside in doing it, why not???
