Thread: Big Sevens... Which one for the 195 Berger.....?

Just done a 284 for me and about to start on break in & load dev. Always had great service and advice from Grant. Fingers crossed this 5th one is a shooter as well. I would agree that copper build up & cleaning is a bit of a mission in some barrels in the first stages but comes right with good Cu solvent and a round or 2 of lapping. Have never tried imported high end barrels so can't make any comparisons. Every gunsmith can turn out the odd dud bbl, but I'd expect the smith to stand by their work & put it right if it was not.

I have a couple mates with the same experience. They swear by their TF barrels.
And fair enough coz I have seen the results. They're good.

Like I said my experience with them wasn't good and I am sure you will find dissatisfied customers with any barrel maker that sells a heap of barrels.

I can also see things from their side a bit as well. I have worked behind a counter in a couple sports shops on and off helping a mate out. Some of the bullshit claims and complaints you hear all day are completely ridiculous.

I always fancied I would buy my local shop and retire selling guns and outdoor gear.

After a few days here and there of actually doing it I put that out of my mind completely. I wouldnt last a week without losing my shit

Not everyone can shoot tiny groups but it is always someone or something elses fault why they can't.

Most people can't shoot as well as the claim it's a fact of life.
The worst are generally the big talkers I've found.
Watch the quiet dude that rocks up with a day bag and old gun he won't disappoint.
