I bore scoped a budget 12FV and the barrel had massive chatter marks all through the barrel. Really awful looking, although the gun shot 5/8" to 3/4" 5 shot groups which is surprising considering how bad it looked. I have also scoped two Savage target models with SS barrels that looked fabulous, like match barrels.

I am curious if anyone knows if the barrels that come on Target models are generally considered to be as good as an aftermarket match barrel such as a Criterion or Shilen?
