Barrel life balanced with barrel accuracy. (Favorite barrel brands.)

It depends on your definition of accuracy.

How accurate does it have to be before it's not accurate?

Chambering will also play a big factor. A 6.5-284 will erode a bore quicker than a .308W will.

I have a Colt hard chromed AR-15 barrel that is over 15 years old and has had several thousand of rounds through it and it still shoots sub 3/4 MOA which is how it shot when it was brand new

My 22 Cheatah went from sub 1/2 MOA to over 1 MOA after about 800 rounds but it will still take out a coyote with one shot at 200 yards.....but not a prairie dog at 300 anymore unless I get lucky on the first shot. (It is now a tomato stake.)
