if the bores fucked it wont shoot accurately and if its real bad the bullet will actually tumble and hit the target sideways
if the bores good they can be very accurate
most sporterized rifles are around that $100-$150 mark but not all are equal you need to view the rifle and know what your looking at to get a good one
a good way to get an idea if its completely fucked or not is get a 303 round and stick the projectile in the muzzle end it should be a tight fit if its sloppy its fucked but you need to look at the rifling aswell
doesn't realy matter what the outside looks like its the inside that matters I've seen mint looking rifles with fucked bores and I've seen absolute shitters with an awesome bore give me the shitter with the good bore any day of the week as you say you can tidy up the outside if need be
