Browning X-Bolt Questions

I believe in Barrel Break-in.
100 rounds through the tube before I consider it broken in.
Clean after every 3 shots for the first 50, then clean after every 5 shots for the next 50.
Mine is a Stainless Stalker in .338 Win Mag, so I can't do that in one setting.
I do have all my rifles hand lapped and a basic trigger job done on them right out of the box, before I put a single round through it.
I only have 20 rounds through it so far, but I'm damm near 1" MOA as it is.
As soon as turkey seasons ends, I'll finish breaking her in.
I love this gun......................I wish all my rifles were this well made !!!

Similar to compound - smoothes the rough edges on the rifling which increases accuracy and limits fouling deposits.
