[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1307702, member: 12995"] Yep... Same here. I own LOTS of 700's, mostly Senderos with the old 6-groove standard rifling. Once properly hand-lapped, they are easy to clean, but even then, they still collect more copper than the 5R barrels do in factory-form. It blew my mind the first time I cleaned my .308 Win (bought it new in 2010) and after only about 10 passes with the brush, then following with wet patch, I was pushing out clean patches. Taking my time and studying each patch, it was still only a 10 minute job. And that was the initial cleaning after my break-in 100 rounds. It's only been a 5-10 minutes job since then. I also have several other rifles with 5R rifling, like a few AR's that I built with ultra-match quality barrels, and they are just as nice and easy to clean. My philosophy on it is: Buy one and try one...So you can be a believer like the rest of us. :cool: [/QUOTE]
