Of course there is all the other shooters.
I am on the side of the shoot it and enjoy it. Take the best precautions you can while doing so but it will wear out.
Its why I got Savages. I can change the barrel and I can get what barrel I want (pretty much)
It also why I now have 3, it breaks up the rounds per gun and they all will last longer.
The latest is a 270, odd choice but I got a great deal on the package, I am going to play with it though no great hopes as its a pencil, family had a 270 and lots of stuff for it form bullets to dies. If it shoots good I will have fun, If not the XC 308 goes on it and long term is will get the 7.5 x 55 Swiss.
