[QUOTE="acloco, post: 1177986, member: 6137"] So far, believe each of you are right. Friend has a quality (name brand, stainless, somewhat expensive) barrel, that just does not shoot well. Low and behold, 5 inches from the muzzle, there is a significant line, all the way around the bore of the barrel. This is not a machining mark...this is a groove - a definite stop and start of the lands AND grooves in this barrel. Purchased a used 220 Swift for the action and stock. Oooph. Alligator/crocodile skin at the throat and missing 6 inches of rifling. This barrel was used. My first new rifle that I purchased. Easily has 6-7K rounds down the barrel. Still shoots VERY well (223). Factory button rifled barrel that shows all that a button rifling will show, with very little throat erosion. [/QUOTE]
