Hello all and happy new year! I am calling out to those of you with barrel life experience. I recently aquired a savage 340 chambered in .222 the gun is in rough shape and shot poorly. The last inch or so of the muzzle looked sandblasted inside? So I have trimmed and recrowned the barrel with excellent results until my old steel tube weaver took a dump or so I thought. I swapped over to a NIB classic series and the gun is shooting patterns still I've retorqed the mount changed rings and scopes to no avail along with multiple ammunitions. Is my barrel toast ?
