slr100h barrel crap

[standingbear]

one of the slr100h rifles i bought has a perfect bore up to the last 2 inches. there it has some pitting and the rifling looks like someone put a file to it(rough to say the least). it is new, from blue ridge. how will this affect accuracy and can it be fixed?i took it back to the dealer and got nowhere-says im "too picky"

That sucks, I would let the dealer know that you are taking your buisness elsewhere. As for the accuracy, that is hard to say. If you get groups under 6in, consider yourself luck and call it a learning lesson. If not, you might want to look to have it rebarreled. Considering that blue ridge is out of buisness, any implied warranty work is moot.
