Bore scope images inside ssg 3000 .308

[Jrg712]

Hi guys,
Hoping to get some confirmation on what these Borescope images are showing. This is the bore on my German produced ssg 3000 chambered in .308. I bought this rife used. The condition of the rifle overall was immaculate. The rifle shoots lights out. I recently purchased a teslong bore scope and examined after a thorough cleaning. What seems to be pitting, is visible 2” after the start of the lands and continues out to about 12”. Any Thoughts on what these marks are? Will accuracy begin to fall off? Any info is appreciated!

shoot it until the Barrel dies!

I have an SSG too. Some european steel including Sako's I owned, get these pits with age.
Does not seem to effect accuracy on a Sako used for Benchrest competition in 6mm.
I would not worry at all. I did not scope my SSG, but it shot X's out of a Rimfire target at 50 yards.
Too much snow to put target out to 100.
In your barrel it is pretty minor anyways.

10x - that’s the plan!
Mblmotors- I appreciate the quick response! Great to hear from another ssg guy. I have looked into buying a benchmark replacement barrel for when this tube is shot out. Heard great things about their replacements for the ssg.

I’ve had similar pits on my barrels, they shot just fine and had normal barrel life.

The good news is that you and me probably can’t afford to shoot enough 308 to burn out that barrel.
But getting another caliber from benchmark like 6.5 or other would definitely be cool and fun.
