[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1362003, member: 30902"] I'm still shooting my original 700 Rem Custom Shop Stainless/Synthetic I bought in 90. I thought it was time to rebarrel and had a gunsmith look at it and he said I've used up less than half of it's useable throat. It's nothing special, just don't shoot one hot and keep on shooting and it'll last a very long time. A lot of the data on nitriding shows that doing so can in some cases double the life of a barrel so with any of the high velocity magnums it's certainly worth considering. Practice though with something easier on barrels and wallets like the 6.5Cm or .260 Remington both of which are more than adequate for all but the biggest North American Game out to 600 yds. [/QUOTE]
