    For those that claim chrome lined barrels are inherently inaccurate......you are so wrong. Maybe with yesterdays manufacturing techniques, that is not the case any more. I happen to own and shoot the proof....my Sako TRG 42 Sniper has a chrome lined bore and shoots like a laser beam. One of the most accurate "out of the box rifles I own". With handloads, sub moa all day long!!!!
    I also own a AIA M10 B2 Match rifle that has that "dreaded chrome plating" and with proper handloads and on a good day I have shot sub moa groups, in spite of a terrible trigger!!!
    Steve Redgwell from 303british.com whom I respect also shuns chrome lined bores in regards to accuracy........read his article on the AIA rifles regarding chromed bores. "Competitive shooters do not use chrome lined barrels period, they are not accurate", end of quote.......for article see The Mystery of Australian International Arms
    I love my AIA rifle, it is a finely made specimen, the fit and finish are beautiful. Prices keep on going up here in Canadaicon, I'd buy another in a heartbeat!!!! As a current serving Canadian Ranger I'd be proud to carry one inspite of what all the naysayers think!!!!!
    Lastly chrome barrels clean up so much easier and faster than non-chrome bores.........I'll take chrome over conventional!!!!!!!!!!!!
