I have had several and all were accurate; <1" with handloads from a bench. Make sure the one he buys has a free floating barrel. The trigger pulls can be hard but Timmney makes a kit for the Rem. 870 shotgun that will swap with no mods. and allow for trigger lb. adjustment. The 760/7600 and the 870 all use the same trigger group. Also DO NOT put see thru scope mounts on one.
I have never heard of anyone wearing one of these out although you might erode the barrel after 5,000 or so 30-06/.270 rounds.
