[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2448543, member: 10755"] The problem with a barrel ring is the fact that the rifling disengages the bullet then re-engages with the bullet out of time with the rifling. This causes poor accuracy the further out you shoot. I had a Ruger Mini-14 that did the same with a ringed barrel, at 100 it shot decent enough, but even at 200 it was lacking and would regularly miss rabbits. At 300 it was a crap shoot and I didn’t even bother trying after about 3 attempts. I had it re-barreled and it shot very well prior to being made illegal. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
