[QUOTE="Just a hunter, post: 2561491, member: 112197"] I get that but if 90% of this rifle's life is spent hunting, is barrel life really that important? Of course I want to have a rifle I can hunt with for many years but I don't think shooting 25-50 times a year, after fire forming and load development of course, is going to mean the rifle will be rendered useless after a few years. I don't shoot my rifles to the point that they are hot, I will stop and let them cool or cool them myself before I let that happen. I guess I wasn't to the point as much as I should have been. After break in and load development I likely won't shoot over 25 times a year and I will move on to another chambering and focus on that a while. I like to have a new project that I can focus on on my days off. Shoot one week a few times and then clean the following week and I might not have a chance to go back to the range for a few weeks again. [/QUOTE]
