    So the answer is that the above pictured 5 shot group was rounds 1924 - 1929.

    Rifle is a Rem 700 with a custom barrel, Jewel trigger, in the factory HS stock wearing a Leupold 8.5 X 25 LRT.

    ReaperDriver's picture of the throat area actually is from this barrel about 70 rounds prior.

    Thank you for the responses

    Well, according to the Interwebzz, your accuracy was supposed to be a shotgun blast after 1500 rounds, you're never supposed to get that kind of accuracy with a factory stock (or stock/chassis that doesn't cost $1,000 minimum), and only a Vortex Razor II, Vortex AMG, S&B, NF, Khales, Steiner M, Hensoldt, etc. are supposed to allow you to see well enough for hits like that.

    Oh, and my personal favorite: you only clean when accuracy falls off.


    Great shooting and let us know your round count when things actually begin to deteriorate. 👍👍🤘🤘

    Group was shot at 100 yards, sorry for the 10 meter air gun enthusiasts...

    I guess if I had thought up a better way to have the members "guess" at the barrels relative round count we all might have gained from this. Truth be told if you chose under 3,00o how could you loose?

    I do appreciate both the humor and those that took a minute to think, even if their wind changed during that moment. :)
