For me, going cheap has never worked out, so I gave up on that approach long ago.
Only wealthy men can afford cheap things.
Trust me, I have done those calculations! And I have come to the same conclusion with some exceptions. At a dollar a pop for ammo to "break-in" the barrel, try to get zero (it's a moving target when your gun ain't shootin straight), missing metal targets at 300 yards and having to figure out needed adjustments to get back on to metal..., it adds up quickly and the extra $100 for a nicer barrel quickly becomes the money saver.
