[QUOTE="KurtM, post: 1076118, member: 6064"] Well right there is a darn good question. The answer is, it depends on the type of shooting the person is competing in. If you were a fairly dedicated bench rest shooter, yes it would make a big difference, If you were a dedicated long range f-class type shooter, it would make a big difference. For action shooting, not much difference at all. A rifle that holds 2 M.O.A. is pleanty for 3-gun and action rifle. Now you might "want" more but in actuallity you really don't need any more than that. The rifle I took to Denmark for the Nordic Rifle Championships was a shot out Bushmaster 1X9 and it would barely hold 2 M.O.A. with real good bullets, and in the end the trophy is sitting in my living room. Matter of fact I quit buying "good barrels" as I found many of the high end barrels were a bit finicky in 223 as to what they would shoot, where as the "lesser" quality barrels all held around 1-1 1/2 M.O.A. with most types of ammo, and you sure don't feel bad about burning a Beta mag worth of shells through one. While we are on Barrels, does anyone in town have a 5.56x45 reamer, I could borrow or pay to use. I have a fairly tight chambered .223 marked barrel and it will stick rounds every once in a while so I need to open it up a bit. All I need is two light turn with a 5.56 Reamer. Thanks KurtM [/QUOTE]
