has anyone used rifle inserts? was the accuracy ok? i was considering getting a .30-30 insert for my 20ga O/U but wanted to know if it would even be useful at all before i spent $100 on it. im not looking for sub moa kind of stuff, but hitting within 6 inches at 100 yards is a must.

macsters,
I've just recently heard of these inserts - Have never seen one. Although I've seen O/U converted to some rimed rifle rounds like the 45/70 and some of the Sharps calibers. The one thing I remember was that the shotgun firing pins had to be replaced with a smaller diameter rifle pin such that the breech face was welded up and redrilled for the smaller pin. I was told this was required to shoot the much higher pressure rifle cartridges.
I can not see how these barrel inserts alone would work safely without GS work on the O/U's firing pins!!!
