Pictures Inside A New Barrel

I have a gun that the previous owner told me "Do not use a scope and look down the barrel". He said it's the roughest barrel he'd ever seen. It even leaves slight rings on the brass. He had second thoughts but testing showed otherwise and he took it to the match based on its performance.

But, that crap looking barrel really really shoots. It's a 338 Lapua and is the gun that set the ELR World record in 2019 with a cold bore hit followed up with two more hits at 2158 yards. Test shoot your gun before condemning it. Maybe it won't shoot but then again it may be a one in a million.

I never look down a barrel, targets tell me what I need to know.

We as shooters were much happier when only the gunsmiths had borescopes
 
Youre not a gunsmith that hears every day how a barrel looks like a hummer or probably wont shoot
That sounds like gunsmiths were happier when they were the only ones who owned borescopes. Either one is a.blanket statement and not completely accurate.

Any tool that is misused or which the user does not correctly understand can be a problem.

I would agree that there are some people using borescopes that are having trouble understanding the images they are seeing.
