Bought this new maybe 3 years ago, has less than 400 rounds through it, barrel never allowed to get hot. This rifle has never been carried in the field. Last time I looked at the throat it looked perfect. I just don't shoot this rifle very much.
Very accurate: 3 shots into 1/3 moa, maybe a little better, with both 147 and 140 hornady factory ELD-M loads. Nearly 1/4 moa with 127gr LRX factory loads, 1/3 moa with Barnes 120 TSX factory loads, 1/2-2/3 moa with S&B 140gr.... the worst I have seen out of this rifle is 1moa.
Not trying to make it anything it ain't...this is a standard stainless T3X, few extras: -Barrel cut to 20” and threaded (by a real gunsmith, threads concentric to bore) 9/16x24 -Mountain Tactical scope base (0 MOA). -factory beavertail fore-end (easy to remove if you want) and vertical pistol grip (can include the regular grip, also). -trigger at 2.5 lbs. -several extra magazines, mostly standard M+ but one extended 5 round M+
