[QUOTE="Kalashnikov, post: 223956, member: 5730"] After a thorough scrubbing this evening, I carefully inspected the barrel of my 700P 338 LM. Well, lo and behold, my barrel has the same tooling/scarring as indicated in the original post of this thread. Right where the rifling begins just aft of the chamber throat, there is about a 1/2 " really rough patch of bore between two of the lands/rifling. It looks like a chunk of steel was torn out. The rifling looks intact, no issues that I can see. I wish I could take a pic, but not sure how to get "in there" However, what can I say, this rifle flat out shoots even with this obvious defect - easily a 1/2 MOA rifle, and shooting it out to 800 yards yesterday, a 7" gong was getting rung easily and consistently. It looks horrible to be sure, but I have not experienced any issues with accuracy or fouling !? I am not sure what to make of / do about it ? I guess shoot the **** out of it and get it "ready" for a custom tube... [/QUOTE]
