[QUOTE="Susquatch, post: 1577177, member: 31264"] I have had the same experience with two factory rifles I owned - one Rem 700 in 308, and a Browning XBolt also in 308. Both had horrible bores right from the factory - and I do mean HORRIBLE! The only difference between us is that I own a bore scope. So I knew right away that I had only two viable choices - get some Tubbs Final Finish Bullets or re-barrel the rifles. Tubbs seemed like the better choice. Like you, I found that they WORKED! I don't recommend Final Finish for every bore, but they will definitely help the bad ones. For the rest, a proper breakin is usually all that's required. I also want to say that not all factory barrels are bad. Two of my best shooting rifles (both Rem 700s) were awesome right out of the box, and I do mean awesome! Both AVERAGE under 1/4 MOA for 5 shots and refuse to shoot much over 1/2 no matter what you feed them. My point here is that factory rifles vary widely in barrel quality. You can get good ones and bad ones and that's just the way it is. Great to hear it all worked out for you! [/QUOTE]
