[QUOTE="speedgun, post: 3013124, member: 82214"] I recently had a new barrel manufactured and installed on my Remington 700 from a well known barrel company. I also had them perform some basic machine work on my receiver, as well as install a larger, machined recoil lug. While I own and do basic gun work on quite a few rifles, this is the first time I have had a gun rebarreled. After receiving the barreled action, I fitted it to it's stock, which required minor inletting and bedded the recoil lug. I then ran several patches of Hoppes through the barrel, and got the bore scope out to look at the barrel. It seems to me that the bore is extremely rough and the rifling is certainly not crisp or consistent. The barrel looks like it needs a severe polishing, there are places that you can see chattering, pitting and the rifling just looks terrible. What is a new barrel supposed to look like inside? Will the barrel smooth out after break in, otherwise I think it's going to very hard to clean. [/QUOTE]
