[QUOTE="HSmithTX, post: 2520664, member: 121677"] That looks REALLY nice for a factory Savage barrel including the scuff or whatever it is, if it looks better than that further down the barrel go buy a lottery ticket, just in case.... None of my factory Savage barrels are anywhere near that nice, but they do shoot. One came new out of the box with a curly machining chip ironed right into the groove about 1/4" from the crown, it's a 223 and shoots MOA all day with M193. My M12 in 6.5 manbun looks like the bore was machined by an angry beaver on meth, shoot 5 foulers and it settles in well sub MOA until it copper fouls and pressure gets out of hand. Don't expect a factory Savage barrel to look anything short of awful, that way you aren't surprised when you look at it and are amazed at how well it will shoot with a bore that ugly. [/QUOTE]
