a friend was looking at a rem 700, bull barrel bedded in an h-s stock, chambered in.223, 9 twist...$900+, sales tax and background check...$$$$. i suggested i borescope it first to see if it had any freebore as he wanted to shoot heavy bullets and another friend with this same combo had a problem in that bullets were being pushed into the case at chambering. what i saw was unbelievable...maybe not. one land was uncut and the intervening groove was also uncut..."no freebore" in part of the bore and very little in the rest. the chamber was so crooked i would fear shooting the thing! i know remingtom"s quality has gone down, but this is beyond poor quality control. does remington not care?
