My barreled action in .358 does not foul badly at all - the least of my many rifles. It also shoots extremely well - several groups at 1/4 inch from a .358 Win and none over an inch with any load I've tried. My barrel is extremely smooth.

My brother's boss loves bore scopes - he gets to rebarrel many rifles because of them! wink

John T - who put the barrel on, and what action did it go on? Did you contact MRC about your barrel?

�That rifle on the wall of the labourer's cottage or working class flat is the symbol of democracy. It is our job to see that it stays there.� George Orwell
