[QUOTE="milanuk, post: 72667, member: 376"] So barrel life is proving to be pretty good? I know there has been some concern in the LR HP arena, simply because Broughton barrels don't come w/ a tight bore like a Krieger (.298x) which has been a perennial favorite in Palma, etc. I think people have finally figured out that the original reason for the tight bore (funky issue ammo outside the U.S., in years past) doesn't really apply anymore (or to most people shooting Palma in the U.S. even so) but the mentality that the tight bore allows the Kriegers to be maintain a given level of accuracy longer before the barrel is worn out is still hanging on. I opted to buck the trend and pick up a Broughton 5C to replace a burnt-out Krieger on a 40X Palma rifle... the gun is getting re-stocked so I still don't have any trigger time behind it. I do recall that it seemed like the numbers printed on the invoice that came w/ the barrel (don't have it handy anymore) seemed to indicate pretty shallow lands-n-grooves. Time will tell how well it holds up, I guess. Monte [/QUOTE]
