The Scout shows some burrs at the beginning of the rifling. That has been the complaint from some.


A few too many chambers reamed?  Is that the suspicion?

Yes, and that one isn't as bad as some that have been pictured.

There are other causes possible, but pushing tool life past its' optimum usefullness is main suspect.
I had the right to remain silent...

but not the ability.

Those photos of the chamber leade area are what I have seen on several CZ's,  some look good to with no burrs. I have seen the burrs in other brands to including higher priced brands tho not as much. The best looking chambers I have seen on factory rifles are Anschutz and Sako. Some of the worst chambers and crowns I have seen are in the Rem 541S and T models. For the record I use a Hawkeye bore scope to check these.
