Someone who wants to have a rifle that is competitive in High Power, F Class, and even those Sniper Competitions, will not get a chrome lined barrel.
Guys who blast thousands of rounds at high rates of fire such as guys who shoot IPSC or Three Gun may get one, but I doubt it.
I can see it for guys who have automatic rifles and who shoot a couple of cases of Grendel ammo a week. I don't think anyone with that much money is on the forum.
He should know the reasons why chrome lining is used -- and it isn't to enhance accuracy.

Whoops, I couldn't figure out how competition got into this since the OP hadn't specifically mentioned it, and then now I've finally noticed that this thread is in the "Target and Competition Shooting" subforum... Big oops! My apologies. I'll scurry away now.

Also: It doesn't take two cases of ammo every week to shotgun a bore.LOL Two cases of Wolf every single week (you're right, I couldn't afford that much!) would equal 52,000 rounds a year. A chrome bore wouldn't survive that either. Let me win the lotto, and I'll get back to you on that one though.
