How does the rifle shoot?

I’ve seen barrels with bores that resemble a beat up gravel road shoot very well.(ask Bushrat)

I’ve seen barrels with 2” or more of the throat eroded away that would still hold MOA accuracy too.(ask Catnthehat)

Just borescoping a barrel without shooting it, just leads to a pile of speculation.

Now if a rifle/barrel won’t shoot or shoots in a un predictable manner, that’s where the borescope comes in handy, it’s a diagnostic tool.

I’d hit the barrel with some JB’s bore paste and Kroil on a patch wrapped around a used bore brush, and stroke the heck outta it, then follow up with a few patches of Kroil on a patch jag.

Then go shoot it.
