I've noticed quite a few rifle owners here complain that their rifle shoots well for 3-4 shots, then the groups fall apart. It's definitely an issue with the barrel heating up. But it seems like some (cheaper) manufacturers just don't take the time to stress-relieve the barrels for their rifles, or don't do enough heat treatments before they sell a commercial product. Of course - the more effort that's put into good manufacturing, the more the cost will go up.
But are there particular gun manufacturers who have a solid reputation for making high-quality barrels? I'm talking about commercial off-the-shelf rifles, and not custom parts.
