[QUOTE="mercerbear, post: 2266953, member: 116322"] I can't really speak to that. The guy that I bought the rifle from is a member of this forum and a stand up guy whose word I don't question. He said it was shooting sub-minute for him. As long as I didn't somehow manage to gouge those lands with a bore-guided cleaning jag, I am thinking this probably happened at the factory somewhere along the manufacturing process. If they don't borescope their barrels as part of the QC inspection, they probably wouldn't have noticed. I will say that the first cleaning patch I tried to run with the .308 cleaning jag was too tight, so I had to back the jag out from where the lands begin and swap to a 7MM jag, which was a nice tight fit with the cleaning patches I was using. It makes me wonder if getting a patch stuck at the chamber end of the barrel and pulling the .308 jag back to swap out to 7MM could have caused the damage. It doesn't make sense though because the jag is well designed with soft metal and very rounded edges in all directions. The jag should deform before the lands would and I checked both jags...no damage to either. [/QUOTE]
