[QUOTE="barneyb, post: 1919596, member: 73183"] I bought a new Bergara Ridge Wilderness about a month ago. I cleaned it before taking it to the range and found it not only to be dirty but also a lot of blue on the patches so decided to see what the bore looked like. UGH! About a 4" section of the middle of the barrel showed significant coppering of the grooves and Boretech could not get them out. I made a video of this before shooting it. After following Bergara's break-in instructions and shooting a total of 14 rounds, I cleaned the barrel again with Boretech Copper remover and again used the borescope. Yep, still copper. I showed the borescope video to the dealer and he agreed it was copper and replied "well, they have an accuracy guarantee if it won't shoot". Not happy! I had a local rifle maker look at the video and he said that section of barrel has quite a few low spots that fill with copper. I could soak the barrel with (?) and I would be able to get it clean but they would fill right back up again. [/QUOTE]
