[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1154378, member: 8873"] So you were sorry about re barreling? Or was that a typo that was supposed to say was NOT sorry? Just curious; I don't have a dog in this fight but I value your expert gunsmith opinion and want to make sure I am reading it correctly. I agree that if a factory rifle shoots good and is gonna be used for hunting then leave it, unless you don't like it. However, if it's gonna be used for competition (or shooting prairie dogs) then you better go run it hard to see what it'll really do. I think that's where you may see a difference in quality...when things heat up. A barrel that will stack 3 shots may not do it with 5, and one that'll do it with 5 may not do it with 10 or 20. I could care less if my hunting rifles (deer, elk and such) won't shoot really good 5 shot groups, as long as they will put the first (maybe second and third) shot into the same POI consistently.
