Hi there
Does anyone have any useful tips on how to tell how much use a rifle has had? I have heard dropping a projectile (same calibre as rifle) into the muzzle end of barrel is one way and that if the rifling is still good the projectile will not drop past the crown? Also on a rem 700 jeweled bolt if the jeweling is partly worn does this mean the rifle has been well used, excessively used etc. I apologise if these seem like simple/silly questions but if you don't ask........
Thanks
