Hi All,
Keen to hear your guys thoughts on this barrel How would I go about describing it when selling it.
Hi All,

On trade me=Only fired 25 rounds cleaned eveytime after use.
On here, barrel fucked
Lol, love it. Tomato steak then eh. Bugga
A good start would include caliber and where it originally came from
The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds
8x57, where it came from I'll keep to myself for now. It was sold as great/good bore. I love my luck with rifles!
If you zoom up close enough it looks like a coal mine
You should see it in person. The whole barrel is like that. Kinda looks cool. Im wondering how many grains it would shave of a projectile from start to finish! Haha
So are you selling or have you purchased??

I purchased it Hamish, longish story which I may or may not detail in the near future but Long to short version - The guy works on rifles for a living and I asked him to borescope the throat area and report what it was like as he had already said the bore was great/good - but I also asked him to check/mention if there were any bad bits in the barrel. He said he didn't have a borescope to check the throat area but it look good by torch and the the rifling was deep and sharp. So I was quite surprised when I got the rifle and saw the condition the barrel was in.
I'm starting to think I'm not specific enough when asking questions about rifles?
Wow. I only just looked at the photos on a device bigger than my phone. Those craters are huge. I'd be surprised if a 8mm pill didn't just fall through from one end to the other. Nice crown job too

It's not what it looks like, it's what it shoots like
Very true, but I get the feeling Kiwijames has hit the nail on the head on how it would shoot. Plus - why would I now waste $$ on ammo for it? I'm just stoked that I didn't end up buying reloading dies and projectiles for like I was going to. I did buy some powder though. I'll find another caliber thats suitable for that though.
