There may be some military barrels where the chrome lined version is less accurate than the plain steel ones that has generated this myth, but I have a J.C. Higgins Model 50 bolt action that refutes it. The Model 50 uses an FN Mauser action with a chrome lined High Standard barrel and they are extremely accurate.

Chrome lining might hurt accuracy if done poorly, but if done well is no hindrance at all.
