Are you set on the 4.5x14? You may want to consider one of the 2.5x 10s thumbs or 3x12s. Unless you plan on shooting over 1000 yards wink Just trying to help smile The stainless barrels are nice but stick out like a sore thumb. So do bright blued ones and shiny stocks. The barrel break-in is completely unnecessary. [Assuming the firearm is of good quality] inaccuracy is usually the result of the shooter, not the gun. Hope this helps.
