Yes, I know John Barsness and actually have visited with him on occasion--he lives in Townsend Montana which is less than an hour from where I live..I as well enjoy his articles and knowledge..

However I also have visited with Kenny Jarrett and Dan Lilja who between the two of them have more knowledge on barrels and accuracy than any others I have talked too. They both are believers in breaking in barrels as described by others..As I mentioned earlier, they are the experts in their fields and I will follow what they have done in their past..

Another couple that come to mind is Mel Forbes or Lex Webernick --both custom gun makers and highly respected in their industry...and both have directions with their firearms on breaking in barrels..

I am not saying that you can't shoot a gun without breaking in the barrel and it won't still be accurate..but like I stated--what do you have to loose in a lifetime of ownership..to take an extra couple of hours something that might benefit you for decades..

But hey, if you think you know more than the custom barrel makers, knock yourself out..by all means shoot away...
