    As has been said the crown looks rough, it also appears that the rifling is damaged/not straight just inside the muzzle (about halfway down the visible part). Maybe the muzzle end of the barrel has opened up slightly when it was threaded.

    I'd send it to a trusted gunsmith with instructions to cut an inch off the barrel and rethread, make sure you mention it's not shooting quite right and get them to check the barrel with a borescope first in case there's damage further up. I'd be sending the whole rifle to not just the barreled action, that way the smith will be putting it back together so no issues with mag binding etc.
