My point was more some of advice is a bit over the top.
I could count the number of people on this forum on one hand who would no what look at in a borescope its not something you'd suggest for the average hunter to try.
As was suggested its a finnlight wsm not the easiest to shoot long range for a good group.
My suggestion to the op would be try some good factory ammo and see if it solves the issue go.
If it doesn't send it 7mmsaum on the forum who's work would run circles around Nathan's.

Rest assured I'm not trying to compete with you on number of sakos owned
I wasn't suggesting he looked at the bore himself with a borescope I was questioning where he got his information about the barrel being "pretty good" and wether this was his assessment or if he had the barrel inspected by someone who knew what to look for and had the appropriate tools to make such an assessment maybe I wasn't clear on that.
I never had any issues shooting good groups with my wsm so didn't consider that as part of the equation to be honest.
Good on you for reccomending 7mmsaum had no idea he did load development, after all we are all trying to help the poor fella out.
Granted it's easy to go very deep into a rabbit hole....sometimes too deep.
I believe the op tried factory ammo with less than average results too.
