Who knows? When shopping 243, 22-250, 25-06 or any other known "barrel burner" I discount the barrel 100%. (Assume the barrel is shot out). However, what you're saying is SO bad, I doubt it's the barrel. My reasoning is, barrels get shot out rather gradually. If it's the barrel, I gotta wonder who bothered to continue to shoot it when it was only half that bad?
Therefore, I am thinking it is the scope and or mount/rings.
