[QUOTE="olsingleshot, post: 1055784, member: 6862"] Welcome to long range shooting. First the jury is still out about barrel break in. The method you mention will reduce copper and powder fouling, like seasoning a cast iron fry pan. Will it help accuracy, no one knows for sure. But it does make cleaning easier. You can over clean a barrel if it is not done properly. I clean after every shooting session. The Otis kit is great for field use, but buy a one peice coated rod for home and range. The .308 is not a barrel burner and should last a very long time. The Hogue stock is a good stock with the aluminum bed. To get the best out of it, bed the recoil lug. I use them a lot. Scope height is a personal matter. As long as the scope does not touch the barrel. Personal fit is how you mount the rifle to your shoulder and is what is comfortable for you. [/QUOTE]
