[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1956155, member: 10291"] Using a bore scope on a Savage, Ruger, or other factory rifles, particularly when compared to a custom barrel can be a traumatic experience. Having run 1000 -2000 rounds each through Savages(and Rugers which are not much different) used for competition and hunting, I must admit that while cleaning may be a chore compared to a custom, sustained accuracy(sub .5MOA) and low ES were generally unaffected. I learned to live with residual copper and carbon remaining in the bore, and rarely, seeing a lilly white patch. The aberrations shown by the OP are actually quite normal, if not better then the ones I have owned. I used the BoreTech products(Eliminator, Copper, and Carbon removers). Nylon brushes and patches). Let you accuracy and ES dictate the performance, and cleaning requirements of your rifle. The longer cleaning time, and a perfect bore are part of the trade offs associated with the lower cost of a factory rifle. IMO. [/QUOTE]
