I have a ruger m77 22-250 that I got in Fort Worth back In the early 90s.
How is barrel life on these? I have kept It clean and probably do not put more than 50 or 60 rounds through it in a year. Still shoots well though I don't see as well since I am now 68.
I do try to wait about 3 minutes between shots at the range. I have hunted with it for deer. Head and neck shots only shooting a hornady 60 grain bullet with 37 grains of IMR 4350. Not really hot, at least I don't believe so.
When I say 50 or 60 shots that may be stretching. Some years I haven't touched it since I do have other rifles.
