[QUOTE="7Rum Slayer, post: 3059420, member: 113894"] I bought a used Rem 700 .270 a few years back from a friend of mine that had been shot a lot! Like 2000 rounds plus. I bought it for the price of the scope knowing if it didn't shoot I would re barrel it. I put my bore scope in the tube after several days of cleaning and it looked waaay bad like an old sewer pipe. I decided to test for accuracy and factory lead core bullets shot just about 1 1/2 inch at 100. I then loaded some 117 Hammer Hunters and the groups were about the same. Not good enough!! It is now my Boy's rifle a 280AI with a Bartlein barrel and AG stock and shoots like a full custom. If your budget allows do yourself a favor and get a new tube. Cheers, Jason [/QUOTE]
