[QUOTE="wonderman4, post: 1960908, member: 72101"] I had a similar experience with a Savage Axis. The barrel looked like a road under construction with a bore scope. I took it to the range and after 5 shots, there were 10" long streaks of copper in the barrel. I captured some images and sent them to Savage. They agreed with my assessment. I sent the gun to them (they paid all shipping) in June of that year, and I got the rifle back in September of that year. The result was a "new" barrel. There was even a human hair in the bore. I scoped the barrel before I shot it. It was almost as bad as the first barrel. I made my mind up that I was not waiting another 3 months. I wound up fire lapping the second barrel with a NECO fire lapping kit. It came out smoother than a baby's butt. Accuracy was very good, but it sure took a lot of work on my part and it wasn't even my rifle. [/QUOTE]
