[QUOTE="sakofan, post: 59516, member: 1278"] [ QUOTE ] I'm buying a used Tikka Varmint in .308 and I'm planning to use Dave Tubb's Final Finsh system on it even though it has 75 rounds through it already. According to Dave Tubbs as well as Chuck Hawk's websites I should get better accuracy, lower barrel pressures (due to lower friction) and longer barrel life (all things being equal) if I do. Anyone have any reason to believe otherwise? Matt Roth (New to LR hunting) [/ QUOTE ] Welcome to LRH, Matt. I dont buy every product that comes down the pipe.(Even though my wife say's I do [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]) But, Tubbs Final Finish is one I would like to take a harder look at. If and when you try that system out, would you please post back here and let us know what you think of it?? I have never been an big break in guy. BUT...I did break in my VS .308 "by the book" and must say that it cleans up in a snap and is deadly accurate...sakofan..FWIW [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
