FishingFool Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Roughly how many rounds have ya'll put through your 3 gun rifle before rebarreling? Whats a reasonable number? I'm redoing my shooting budget and want to include the costs of re-barreling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shooter115 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 There's no number anyone can give to answer that question. There are just too many variables in the ammo used and the initial quality of the barrel. When it quits shooting good it's time to go. I would say somewhere between 2,500 and 25,000 rounds.

bigbrowndog Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I've got one that still shoots accurately enough to be competitive, and its at 30000+, its a 2.0 moa rifle with irons, out to 300. The barrel is an Evolution SS 20" that started out as a .936/.750 contour and ended up being .750 from chamber to muzzle. I've had it since I started this damn sport in 2000. trapr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FishingFool Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 How many rounds did it take to open up to 1.5 moa? Sent using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlamoShooter Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I was worried about the barrel when I started out too. my first gun & barrel still shoot as good. The thing that will happen if you are shooting and competing much is that you will evolve in what you want in a rifle. and will change up the setup, having the first gun as a backup or loaner for your friends will work great. I am on the #3 gun only because what I wanted changed = all three guns still shoot good with #1 having Iron sights on it now just figure if your shooting it so much that the barrel loses accuracy , Thin you got your monies worth out of it.

sirveyr Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 My M1 from 1943 has a very well worn bore and still shoots great groups at 100 yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishingFool Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 Yeah I already went through a few setups but I'm pretty much settled on the configuration. My preliminary ammo budget for rifle looks to be 1k a month between matches and practice. I'm just trying to get a handle on the timeline to make some long range plans and to schedule what big matches I can afford to go to in the next few years.

bigbrowndog Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 the gun was a 1.5moa gun from the start with irons. I have never shot it with a scope. trapr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
