[QUOTE="HiredHand, post: 2518735, member: 2469"] Barrels are a consumable item. I wouldn't get too hung up on barrel life because the average guy doesn't shoot enough in a lifetime to wear out a barrel. If you could afford to shoot enough ammo to wear out a barrel, you could probably afford to replace a barrel when it's time. Also, there are also a number of factors that can influence a barrels longevity. A few years ago, I listened to a guy speak about long range precision shooting. I believe he shot a 7mm Remington Magnum. He would go to the range for a few hours each week and fire 1-2 rounds on a good day. He was definitely trying to maximize the life of his barrel. And that's totally fine if that's your cup of tea. Sounds like a 308 Win is right up your alley. If you decide the long range precision shooting game is your thing, you can always convert your rifle to another caliber that shares the same 308 bolt face dimension. [/QUOTE]
