[QUOTE="Susquatch, post: 1872670, member: 31264"] Most of the Browning rifles I have bore scoped look very good. However, I have seen a few bores that are rough and collected copper. The best bench rest barrels seldom collect much copper. The worst field barrels can be used to start a copper mine. I have learned to love Bore Tech Cleaning Products. I use their one piece rods and their proof positive jags as well as their solvents. All of their products can be left in the barrel and they will do no harm. THIS IS A HUGE PLUS!!! Their copper solvent works better than the ammonia solvents. Keep in mind that all that shooting will have deposited a lot of copper. At this point, It might take you days to get it all out! Start by removing all the carbon with a carbon solvent and after that is done, use a good copper solvent till the copper is all gone. I cannot and will not EVER recommend a penetrating oil to clean any rifle or shotgun bore. Never use a cleaning rod without a good fitting bore guide. More bores have been ruined by cleaning rods than by shooting! The best guides I know of are one piece "o"-ring guides by Sinclair Int'l. Not to be insulting, but if you used penetrating oil as a gun solvent, I'd be willing to bet that you didn't use a torque wrench to install your bases and rings. And don't forget that the front screws on the front base of an X-Bolt are a different length than the others. Hope you get it all worked out. I love my two XBolts. That are both 1/2" hunting rifles.
