Bad Barrel?

[bgoniea]

I was cleaning my Dad's 52 year old Remington 700 ADL in 30-06. I have just received my order of 166 shock Hammers and wanted to get all the copper out. So I grabbed my bore scope and the picture tells all. I scanned the rest of the barrel and everything looks good. Should I continue or not?

Definitely does not look good but it all comes down to how well it shoots .give it a go see what happens

Grab some Kroils and JB paste and clean it out.

I had a Howa that looked similar, after spending some time on it with some bore paste it became clear that rust was the culprit. It is at the smiths right now getting a new barrel.

Go shoot it and see what groups it will shoot. If it doesn't hold a minute group, then you might go with a new barrel.
