New rifle, bore scope, thoughts?

[Bang!]

What's up with that ?

Maybe a double dog dare would get ya motivated.

Ha! Nobody brushes off a triple dog dare. That would have been the final straw!

But seriously, clean holes are still holes. I’ve been clear that it’s not dust or dirt. “Dust and dirt” does not add to the conversation and it’s rude to keep prodding after that’s been clarified.


Maybe I need to paint a better picture:

You bore a hole through the center of a metal rod. The walls of the bored hole looks mostly normal except a portion has a blossoming of pits. Those pits appear to be from bubbles that were in the metal. A few would be ok but this is a “blossoming” of what appears to be thousands of bubbles that were cut in half and exposed in the walls of just a few inches. How many “bubbles”/voids were not exposed? Is that section of the metal rod practically porous? Is this something you expose to 60,000 psi?

I've had Mosin Nagant's that literally had rust in the bore as well as other crud from not being cleaned properly that I've bought for $49 ( my last one ) a really good cleaning and firing some cheap ammo and more good cleaning and it still shot 2-3" groups at 50y.

That’s a bargain. Would love to buy a couple of those. Have a 1916 stamped Lee Enfield. Bore is dark and rough with the naked eye . It’s minute of deer any day and all day. Bought it for $68 in 1989. One of my favorite rifles. I like the old rifles.

Maybe I need to paint a better picture:

No need to paint a picture when you could just post one and shut me up.

However, it seems you have it all figured out, which begs the question, why did you ask in the first place?

Ah, the site narcissist. Makes sense, now.

Well, you have not only figured out your issue, you’ve also figured out me.

Good luck to you

Thanks.

I'd shoot it, after cleaning which I gather you did, and see how it shoots and how the barrel looks. If you are not happy send it back. Or you could just send it back.
