[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 2611327, member: 74902"] Don't own a CVA, but they do look like nice rifles at their price point. It's probably an unlapped button rifled barrel and the lands could be a little rough after cutting the chamber. The color of the patch doesn't mean is won't shoot. Savage factory barrels are pretty much the same way but shoot great after a 100 rounds or so. I had an after marked barrel recently that was lapped with a "polished" throat. It fouled more than expected with some high SDs. But it settled in right around 100 rounds. [/QUOTE]
