Master,
The picture I posted wasn't mine, I work at a gun dealer and I just grabbed one off the shelf - all Savage barrels I've seen have those tooling marks in the barrels, I picked a stainless barrel because I thought it would show the marks better than steel. Thanks for looking out though.
I've never tried that barrel break-in stuff and I'm not huge on using any brushes other than nylon in my rifles. Rifles are precision and I don't want to risk degrading anything. In fact, I'm so paranoid about it I won't use a metal rod in my .22 because I don't want to risk it, I use a 1/16" 3' pine dowel rod from Menards that cost $.16 and I use it to push patches through. Maybe I'm taking it too far. Also, I've never heard of a three-bullet kit for breaking in; seems like I would have after dealing in guns for so long.
