[QUOTE="Garycrow, post: 1086721, member: 30743"] Today I ran about 100 rounds through two of my long range rifles, one a 6BR savage with a criterion barrel shooting 105 gr. Amaxs and the other a 6.5x47 Lapua built on a M700 remington shooting 142 gr. sierra matchkings. Most of the shooting was at a 1000 yd steel 8x10" target and I hit it more often than not. I've never seen a rifle with a factory barrel that could do that with any degree of regularity. I'm sure there are some specialty factory rifles that could do it but they're few and far between. The barrel is the heart of the rifle, it's responsible for 90% of the accuracy of a rifle. In my experience a barrel by a top maker installed by a good gunsmith is worlds above anything the major manufacturers put out. [/QUOTE]
