that is rifle abuse and I am calling the rifle equivalent of peta 

and that video is also rifle abuse

I don't know how to break in a barrel, but I'm pretty sure the fellow in that video must be from Lewis Co.

Next time I'm down at East County Guns I'll have to ask Andy if he has any "cow barrels".

I used to use the G. David Tubb method.  I figured if anyone had figured out how to break in a barrel it would be him.  So I bought two R-15's when they came out and broke one in that way, and then shot the other one at paper before I broke it in.  It made a teeny tiny difference was all.  The difference in aggregate of five, five shot groups with each rifle was .092".  Either rifle will smack a coyote if I do my part.  The coyotes don't seem to know the difference either.

Personally, I don't think it's worth the time and effort unless you plan on shooting F-class or some other competition like that where a little tiny difference in your group size will mean a trip to the prize table or not.  Doubt that I will do it again, until I build my "dream" rifle.
