I have a .243 Winchester Sako Forester made in 1966 that has a "Bofors steel" barrel, I have no idea how many rounds have been through the gun as I bought it used but it shoots into an inch @100 or better with whatever I care to put through it using an old friction adjust Leupold 2x7 scope that has been "cleaned" so much it shows visible objective wear! But back on topic...how tough is this steel? Is there any way to measure barrel erosion other than with a bore scope? A acquantance is twisting my arm now to buy the little gun and I cannot decide if I want to keep it or sell it, the action is very nice for sure....
