so barrels are made and shot and used and properly broke in and not properly broke in and shot hard and fast and never cleaned and shot slow and 5 times a year and so on and so on,,,,,so what is the life of a barrel giving best performance with unlimited funds and and the same with normal funds and just needing buck killing performance and just shooting paper at 300 yard performance but wanting 1/2 MOA and so on and so on? barrel life by barrel maker and type of barrel,,,that is the question. please only actual human usage information is needed not guesses by folks who really never shoot much at all,,,,you know who you are,,,
