[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 1343890, member: 13833"] I think the poster who said button rifling "is good for hunting" meant that they are not as good, according to the competition world, and I would agree with that. This is not to say that some button rifled barrels don't shoot equally as well (Hart would be an example) Button rifled barrels have the rifling swaged by pulling the button through the bore under great pressure displacing the metal, and potentially causing stress. Cut rifling is done one groove at a time which puts little pressure on the metal and is thought to be more consistent. They are then hand lapped to make them more consistent in diameter for the length of the barrel, and also smoother. It is also slower (more costly) and is why many manufacturers use button, or even hammer forged barrels. Bartlein, Krieger, Brux, and Rock Creek are all examples of cut rifled......Rich [/QUOTE]
