Who said that button rifling was not as accurate?? I said that it is the cheapest way to do rifling?? And it is!! I also said thereal problem with button rifling is that normally the barrel will foul faster. And normally it will if it is not polished. Button rifling is basically a tearing process and not a cut process, therefore it is normally "rougher" in nature-hence faster fouling.

Cut rifling is considered the best rifling if doneproperly. At least that is what BR shooters tell me.I believeKrieger uses cut rifling, and they are a high quality barrel.Now before some one starts saying that I said other barrels are bad-please note that I did not say Hart barrels are bad. They are also great barrels.

I own Savages and Remington rifles. My Savage rifles do foul faster than my Remington's. This is a fact-not an opinion. I also find that my Savage rifles tend to heat up faster than my Remington barrels. But I will also say that my Savage rifles shoot as well as my Remington rifles.

The main place I have noticed a difference in accuracy between Savage and Remington is in the rimfire arena. My Remington rimfires will definitely outshoot my Savage rimfires. But they also cost a good bit more. Tom.
