[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 72339, member: 10"] Brown Dog, Only real way to know is to shoot the rifle and see. I have seen some pretty scratched up bores shoot well while others that looked nearly perfect with the exception of a small scratch produce inconsistant grouping. Only way to know is to shoot the rifle. It is never a good idea to have a scratch near the muzzle as it will certainly increase the fouling to some degree. Since it is only .100" inside the crown it will be a simply task to shorten and recrown to remove the scratch, possible not even having to set the suppressor threads back any. Just shoot her and see what she does. At longer ranges, +200 yards will reveal more accurately how the rifle shoots so stretch things out a bit and see what happened. Good Shooting!!
