[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 441178, member: 1290"] I have not had a chance to see a new Kreiger yet. I was really surprised at the condition of my early 80's vintage Ruger M77V rifles. both have seen well over 6000 rounds and the leading edge of the first rifling still look to be fully intact. Only the very leading edge of the barrel had any throat erosion and it didn't go anywhere near 1/8" I know they are worn as the "jam length" is now well over what will fit in the mag box. They both still shoot 3/8" groups or better so I guess the factory barrels on those get to stay for awhile. Mines getting a muzzle brake though as I'm like watch squirrels blow up as much as I like blowing them up. I will have a camera here this weekend so brace yourselves for some crazy Kreiger pics. I hope you all have strong stomachs. [/QUOTE]
