[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2688606, member: 116181"] Then the barrel is a turd, regardless of how it looks. Maybe what you see is a problem, maybe it's just indicative of overall poor process and control in manufacturing as previously detailed out. I don't judge barrels by what I see on the inside, but I do keep track of what they look like so if they start shooting poorly I can see what changed over time. Bore scopes are a dangerous thing in that you can't predict what will happen based on how they look. I have a factory barrel that's a pitted, rusted mess but the manufacturer didn't warranty it because it still shot 1" at 100 yards. That's not acceptable to me, but apparently is fine enough for the rest of their customer base. That's why I spend a decent amount of money on good barrels now, instead of buying complete rifles. Bartlein, Kreiger, and Brux are what I'm currently running, and the ones I have right now have run exceptionally well. Not saying those good companies don't lay a bad egg every once in a while, but on the average they're been good for me. I'm thinking about taking a risk on an OMR upgrade to one of my Bergara, I've never used them and the online reviews are so-so, but if it can at least hold 1MOA i'm not any worse off than before.
