Before looking at the barrel he also said they are about 800 round barrels, which seemed really low to me.
id find another smith...not the same barrel(shilen)but the same cal...i had 2800 rounds through it but never hot rodded then had it set back and rechambered to 260AI and shot 900 more through it before things started going south.
depending on how hot your loads are and what type of shooting you do with the rifle you should get 2000 very accurate rounds and close to 2800-3000 before things get real unpredictable.
