On the other hand, if you can afford to shoot enough rounds to wear out a barrel, then you should also be able to afford a barrel swap.

Folks who still use the 30 cal platform for highpower/service rifle, still use the tight fitting stock and steel bedding approach.

Barrels are replaced around 4k rounds.

Compared to 30 cal, AR platform for highpower/service rifle is easier as well as cost effective to maintain and accurize. Reloading ammo is also cheaper.

I use both - helps me shoot better . . .
