This is true but he may have another motive for shooting IBS. He may be a tight wad like me and refuses to build a gun for a single purpose. Or perhaps the closest range he can shoot past 100 yards shoot IBS and shooting these matches is his only means of shooting out further. I hunt deer with my F-class rifle. I shoot TR as I use a Harris bipod for hunting and F-class.
Edited: I can not emphasize how cheap I am. My pants are all Carhart factory seconds. lol. I do buy good barrels and brass. Can not go cheap there, as it costs more in the long run to go cheap..
LRI has great prefits. I've shot one of their standard prefits (K&P blank and I've shot as small as 0.084" shot group) and for the next barrel I sent my reamer and a Bartlein Med Palma blank and had Chad Dixon (LRI) make a prefit from it. They both shot very well. I would look into LRI. I also have heard of excellent RPR prefit barrels from Patriot Valley Arms (Josh Kunz).
This is a trainer rifle to learn what's good what's bad. I'm in the process of figuring out what it is I want. With the factory Barrel in Factory ammo I have shot 4 to 6 inch groups in competition. When working up handloads of shot a few 2" and some 3 plus inch groups. Still learning, but for those who know me I study everything.
One of the things that I'm not yet this consistent. I'm working on myself as much as I'm working on learning to rifles
Great info.
What are your thoughts on a Shilen Custom barrel?
Ratchet rifled 4 groove?

I said simple, but I remembered that it was not simple to get the Ruger barrel nut loose. I think it came off at 250+ ft lbs. Must be a liability thing.
Mine didn't come off that hard. 87 ft pounds break away
Josh from Patriot Valley is one of the very best and has great attention to detail. He would be my first pick hands down!

Krieger, Brux or Bartlein. Cannot go wrong with anyone of them.
