I just purchased a model 111 in 270 and noticed a strange ribbing in the barrel surface. The barrel finish is smooth and glossy but the steel has low spots that show as ribbing. The ribbing is evident in several spots around the barrel circumference and runs from 4" to about 7" from the muzzle end. Is this normal with the smooth glossy finished Savage barrels?
