1shot: If you were to add up all of the costs that it took you to get to the point where you are at with that barrel, what would the sum be?
Every time I've seen this happen, the costs add up to more than a drop-in Lilja barrel, which reinforces the statement: "Only wealthy men can afford cheap things."
A good estimation would be at least $600 and that does not include the frustration or my time spent trying three different scopes mounting go the range to see it is was the scope or the rifle that caused it to spray shots dismounting the scopes. I know I shot 10 boxes of Hornady 123 SST ammo as well as at least another 100 rounds of hand loads before finally getting it to settle down and shoot. It sure does pay you to just cry once and spend the bucks to get high quality because lots of times it actually saves you money.
