Why would anyone want to buy a premium barrel when the Savage factory barrels shoot dime sized groups with factory ammo.
Why on earth would anyone buy a Cooper, Tikka, Sako, or any other rifle and spend all that money when a $300 Savage is just as accurate or has better accuracy right out of the box?
How do these companies stay in business, competing against a $300 rifle that is easily accuracy superior?
Speculation. Bring some facts.
http://bulletin.accurateshooter.com/2011/09/15-year-old-gal-wins-her-first-ever-f-class-match/ Oh wait. I just found this again. Its a 15 year old girl winning a big comp with a Savage. How many Remmies do you think she shot against?
Talented young lady, good for her. I'd guess there was more to her victory than just the rifle used.
Doesn't look like a $300 Savage, with a factory barrel either.
I asked a few questions, sorta "Tongue in cheek". I actually own Savages and Remingtons, among some other brands. Only one of my Savages has a factory barrel on it. A LRPV in 204 Ruger. Some of the Rems also have worn barrels such as Shilen, Douglas, Pacnor, Benchmark, Chanlyn, even Lothar Walther.
I believe there are some factory barrels and some shooters that can produce dime sized groups, but I don't believe it to be the norm.
Now can you produce facts to show us it is the norm for the named $300 rifles, and not just speculate.
