[QUOTE="RAGGED EDGE, post: 2255808, member: 49669"] Another Opinion here. Unless this gun landed on it's muzzle out of a truck, the barrel is the LAST place I'd go. Start from the top (scope, mounts, etc.) and work down, and then out. I have a cheap, but extremely reliable scope I keep around for occasions like this. It is surprising to me how many problems like this can be fixed with a really good cleaning. .308-based cases just will not burn a barrel out to the point of replacement in as few as 1500 rounds unless gross abuse has taken place. Good luck with your troubleshooting. [/QUOTE]
