Am no expert on shotguns. I do know from personal experience that most .22 LR's are next to impossible to wear out. However most centerfire rifles begin loosing accuracy around the 1K mark to 2.5-3K for certain calibers.
Then again accuracy is relative.
Personally I didnt know shotgun barrels were like the .22 even though I do own a couple of shotguns.
All vicarious wisdom and purloined information here. .I was merely sharing my experiences than questioning you. Yeah, I am aware of loss accuracy as barrels begin to wear out.
Less pressure on the smooth bored barrels,lead being softer,lesser velocity, lead shot being housed in a wad etc, all ensure that the barrels are almost unaffected by the number of shots fired through them.
Ashar, Sorry for the OT posts. But, Carl Zeiss has operations in India`and you can buy scopes direct from them,if you wish that is.
