I recently purchased a Bergara rifle and in the owners manual it recommends a barrel break in. Is it really necessary? How much of a real world difference will it make?

I plan on shooting it. They recommend cleaning after every shot for the first 5 rounds then every 10 shots for the next 50

That was my thought. Probably shouldn’t have wasted my time asking a question I already knew the answer too

Clean it well before the first shot. Shoot it twenty times getting the scope roughed in while you familiarize yourself with the rifle. Rinse and repeat.

I break mine in per Jim Carmichael's instructions. Does it work? Can't be proved nor disproved. But...every new factory rifle I've done the break in procedure with, the bore cleans easy. That alone is worth something.

How many times has the dead horse been beaten ? He has a new rifle and is excited. We all have been there.
