I just bench-tested my Buck Mark factory 7.25" Contour Lite barrel at 25yds.
I shot 3 5-shot groups, at 25 yds, from a rest. All three are almost exactly 1.5". I'm limited by my 4MOA red-dot scope, that looks to produce about a 1" dot at 25yds, but they were all good squeezes.
Also, they wre shot with "less than target grade" ammo. We'll see if some match grade ammo tightens things up, before I swap barrels.
I solved my issues with Tactical Solutions... They are sending me a 7.25" target barrel instead of the 10". They've discontinued the 10", since all the competition shooters, mostly Steel Challenge, are opting for the weight reduction of the 7.25" over the factory "light" barrel. The 7.25" is just as accurate inside 50yds as the 10".
My new barrel comes in Friday... Range test coming up...
