Yep, Swamp -- gotta agree with you. I've owned a few rifles in my time, and none of them, even the most accurate, ever went through that "shoot/clean/shoot" break-in thing that some people think is required. All were/are plain old factory guns, no custom barrels. If you clean thoroughly but very carefully after shooting (from the breech end!!), a rifle that was made properly will shoot well. If the barrel is not straight or has a bad muzzle crown, no amount of break-in will fix it. Lots of other factors affect accuracy beside the smoothness of the rifling, too. Glad too hear some practical good sense here. We shoot and appreciate these little inexpensive rifles and shotguns because we are common-sense sportsmen!
