This last week, Tac Pro Shooting Center had their intermediate precision rifle class. Ten rifles in the class, 4 Accuracy International, 2 Sako TRGs, and 4 modified Remington 700s. Course of fire was 350 rounds over three days.
By the end of the class, two of the Remington 700s had stopped holding a group and both of the Sako TRGs were DOA (one explosively, one with a dead trigger group).
I don't have a great deal of time on precision rifle. So I am ignorant in the area; but it doesn't seem like 350 rounds in three days of is all that demanding a requirement. I was surprised to hear of so many rifles going down. For those of you that have done this, is that typical of a class or that type of rifle?
(Edited hyperbole regarding group size on Remington 700 - it was worse than they had done the previous two days and but still decent for a rifle 2-3MOA at 100yds)
