Superhunt Yes i don't shoot/heat my .300 up a lot. I shoot maybe 6 times at the neighbors gun shoot every year to make sure it's sighted in, and it's usually a one shot kill rifle in the field. They say it's a 1000 round barrel, at my rate of shooting it's fine for me. It likes 96 grain of Retumbo with 200 grain accubonds. I love that gun, my wife surprised me with it one anniversary 15 years ago, the 2nd wife is a keeper, she supports my hunting
