For typical factory guns vs custom, if you think they're equivalent, don't buy a borescope... blush

Some factory barrels look pretty good, but it's not that hard to see the difference thru a Hawkeye. Many, esp. Salvage and Rem, can look pretty rough with tool marks. I'm amazed how well some of those actually shoot.

Then go Hawkeye a Brux, Krieger, etc.

I doubt either Blasers or Tikkas look great from borescope because of how they foul. But, they tend to shoot the first shot into the group from a cold barrel, which is the most important thing to me--above both feeding and overall accuracy.
