Not really. Salvages are really rough looking, seem to shoot a lot better than the Hawkeye would indicate. Remingtons are better, still with tool marks.
Browning barrels look very good, a lot like CZ's. They shoot good, too.
You just can't guess what a barrel is going to do at the range based on what it looks like.
If you have a barrel that quits shooting, the Hawkeye can help diagnose the problem.
Once you have a Hawkeye, you won't want to be without one.
IMO.
