[QUOTE="Laelkhunter, post: 1092328, member: 38154"] J E CUSTOM, well said. I have no where near the experience you have, but I know enough to agree with everything you say. I feel that if you are going to cause excessive wear to a barrel by doing a 10 or 20 shot break in period, the barrel is crap to begin with. A break in period should not reduce the life of the barrel, and I have to sight in the rifle anyway when I get it. I can do that while breaking in the barrel, and cleaning it to remove the carbon and copper before firing another shot. If the OP is dead set against a break in, I agree with those who have said it is his right, although I feel he would get better service from the barrel, and prolong it's useful life by proper break in, and not taking away from it's useful life by firing the break in shots. JMHO, worth about .02 [/QUOTE]
