New Rifle has me Perplexed

imartin said:
Update: put a borescope on it, things looked good to me but I'm an amateur when it comes to evaluating rifle bores. Shots 16-20 on the barrel pictured below. 200 yards using 168 gr SMK Fed GM. With a more suitable scope and a better nut behind the bolt, I'm sure this would be tighter, but I'm pretty happy for now. Going to clean it again and see what the patches look like after 10 rounds. If it's just carbon I will declare it good to go.

She'll tighten up when you get up around 100 rds or so, maybe earlier. It's all good.
Be safe!
