[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 1929020, member: 94491"] that scratch looks normal to me-- when you pull back on the bolt to eject the round, the ejector pushes the cartridge to the right as the rim is held under the extractor --- this causes the cartridge to ride the right side of the bolt/action and scratch the case (This is especially evident in AR style rifles due to the multi lug bolt/barrel extension)--- you sometimes will also see scratches from magazine feed lips, feed ramps, etc But as for your question about cleaning-- I always clean new rifles as best as possible as there is usually still machining oil residue and even rust preventative on the rifle and in the bore --its a good idea (if you think you see rust) to take the stock off and clean and oil the underside of the action and barrel too, then re assemble and re-torque your action to the stock. my buddy has a 700vtr in 308 and he loves it, congrats on the new rifle [/QUOTE]
