Barrel Questions

charger arms · Jul 13, 2012

I have a simple barrel question that has been bugging me for a while now. I know "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".
I have had a FN produced 18" CHF chrome lined 1/7 twist barrel on my rifle for some time now. Half the time I think about chucking it and getting a nice stainless barrel for my "match" rifle.

What is the general opinion on these CHF barrels? Would I benefit much from going stainless or should I just leave it alone and just learn to shoot?

Thanks in advance for feedback.

I am using it for mostly my 3 gun rifle. Might plug praire rats someday. Been using just 60 gr Vmax rounds. I have some Steel Match 69 gr (i think) at the house I have yet to try.

If it wil hold 2MOA then your fine for a 3-gun rifle, if ya wanna pop pasture maggots then your gonna have to tighten it up! I like about 1/2MOA but these are two different games. If it ain't broke I'd not mess with it UNLESS you just want a new barrel lol Later,
