I have a new win 70 long range MB in 6.8 western. It shoots okay but not great. Most loads it does a little bigger than 1" to 1.5" best load right now is 155gr LRX .8" avg 3 shots. I got a bore scope and when looking at crown it's very rough. It's ragged, uneven and looks to have chips and or burrs. Looking at my Browning x bolt it's very even and smooth, same on bergara even and smooth. Both of those guns have hundreds of rounds. I only have maybe 40 rds thru winchester. My question is the crown isn't making it shoot horrible but it might be making it worst than it could be. Is there a tool that could clean up the crown or would I be best to take to GS for checking?
Recrown and barrel?

Search Brownell's for a DYI solution or Midway.
I'd start with a hard cotton cone with some polishing compound and a high speed drill and go from there. You basically have nothing to lose since a trip to the GS is always the backup solution.
Watch on youtube the velocity tests for barrel length with hacksaw that shoot like crazy if you want some inspiration to try it.
