Well, my interest in rifles just isn't what it used to be. I find I enjoy someotheractivities just as much if not more now.So for me personally, I just plain got tired of doing a tedious break-in since my heart wasn't in it and since practically all of my hunting and shooting is done at a range of 300 yards and less, Idon't think any accuracy advantage offered by this process (if there is any at all) is going to benefit me. More than anything else, though, here's what really convinced me it really wasn't needed for what I do: in 30 some odd years of hunting deer with riflesI've managed to miss only 1 deer and that one miss was totally my fault, not the rifle's.I'm not saying that to brag, I only take shots that I'm 99.9% sure of. So, for my style of hunting, shooting rifles that weren'ttediously broken in has never, ever cost me a single animal.Therefore, why should I bother? Anyway, that's my thinking on it.
