[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 1344652, member: 1521"] I agree that a good is good regardless of manufacturing method. But at least consider what each is good for, and about YOUR odds of success. There are differences between a BR gun with a very heavy barrel -shooting for precision, and a hunting gun with a very light barrel -shooting for accuracy. Both can have advantages in use, and disadvantages otherwise. I have a 16.5lb BR LG that would kill game dead as dead gets at 1kyd, no problem. But it is in no way practical for this, and the barrel alone weighs ~9lbs. I've considered rebuilding it for hunting, move the action over to a nice hunting stock, and screw a heavily turned/fluted/or wrapped ~4.5lb barrel on it. For this, I would feel like my odds of keeping a shooter would better beginning with a cut rifled blank. Some could say they have done otherwise with success, that's great. And I believe them. But I'm talking about MY odds, and I'm thinking about a muzzle opening with a lot of contouring, among other factors. Well I can erase all concerns with cut rifled, so that's just how I would go here. A krieger will shoot as good as a Broughton in any regard, they cost the same, yadda, yadda. It's really more reasoning than opinion. [/QUOTE]
