[QUOTE="Coyboy, post: 621714, member: 3733"] with the naked eye? The best way I can describe it; clean barrel, pull bolt, pull the action out of the stock so you can get your eye closer to the back of the action. Look at the transition from the freebore to the lands, focus your eye to that spot, the transition of the lands should look sharp and squared off, shinny and not dull. If it appears dull and the lands don't look sharp, it has had some use, how much is hard to determine. But if the guy said it had less than 50 rounds it should look sharp and shinny. The best way is to take your own rifles with known history and look thru them and train your eye. If you have a 308 with 200 rounds thru it and a 300 wm with 750 they would make good training aids.
