    Default Chrome Moly barrels...Thumbs up or down?

    Does anyone have objections to chrome moly barrels? I don't know much about em myself and I read up on em before but I think I would prefer biased advice about it from ya'll. Whatcha think about Chrome moly steel barrels?

    This is from a PSA Freedom (the entry level PSA line) complete rifle kit with a chrome-moly barrel and on a PSA stripped lower. Shooter is a novice with maybe 50 rounds fired from an AR prior to this. She assembled this rifle with my help and wanted green furniture so we painted it for her. We just put a new Vortex Strikefire II on it and I was showing her how to zero it. Granted, it's only 25 yards from a bench... But not too shabby if you ask me. I've found over the years most guns are capable of greater accuracy than most shooters.

    The machinist making the barrel has more effect then the alloy when comparing barrel steels.
