[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 878256, member: 1290"] Not to leave you hangin. A brush can't tell you much if anything. A tight patch on a jag will tell you a lot more. I think you need to get it to an accuracy smith for evaluation. It needs to be cleaned, bore scoped and then lead slugged. This will tell you all you need to know. When slugging an Accumark, I can feel exactly where the fluting starts and stops but it doesn't seem to affect accuracy. Overall they are one of the smoothest mass produced factory rifle barrels out there. I have never heard of an Accumark barrel like you are describing. Are you using Barnes bullets or moly by any chance? If it tests out bad by the above method you could let Weatherby swap the barrel. It might be awhile before you ever see it again. A good way to wreck a barrel is to swab it out with alcohol or some kind of brake clean/gun scrubber/acetone and leave it dry for a long period of time. Even stainless will rust pretty quick if left bone dry. You got hosed on the price of your Accumark. They sell around here for $1700. When I bought mine they were $1200 retail. $1150 on sale.
