Thread: Good barrel or bad barrel?

I purchased it Hamish, longish story which I may or may not detail in the near future but Long to short version - The guy works on rifles for a living and I asked him to borescope the throat area and report what it was like as he had already said the bore was great/good - but I also asked him to check/mention if there were any bad bits in the barrel. He said he didn't have a borescope to check the throat area but it look good by torch and the the rifling was deep and sharp. So I was quite surprised when I got the rifle and saw the condition the barrel was in.

I'm starting to think I'm not specific enough when asking questions about rifles?
