Chatter marks are extremely common in button rifled barrels. It's literally an oversized button being forced through an undersized hole with tremendous force. Use as much lubricant as possible but it still cuts chips just like a die does threading a hole, it's not one continuous peeling of the metal.Chatter marks, something was out of kilter!
So I might still have a chance at decent accuracy?Chatter marks are extremely common in button rifled barrels.

Even when land lapped, these chatter marks can still be present.
I'd shoot it.So I might still have a chance at decent accuracy?
Thanks Reno,I'll load a few rds and try it out.I'd shoot it.
Like I said, looks do not equal performance.
That's right, for instance… an ugly wife may not necessarily be a great cook after all.I'd shoot it.

Pearl of wisdom.That's right, for instance… an ugly wife may not necessarily be a great cook after all.
Its a barrel iv had sitting around,thought id screw it into a savage and see if it will shoot worth a darn.Is the picture of a just a barrel...or is it of a rifle with a ER Shaw barrel...?
Have you shot it yet..?
I ask 'cause I have seen barrels with bores that were pitted , or less than pretty...still shoot very nicely.

Sounds like a good idea...if the rifle shoots fine...I wouldn't worry 'bout how the bore looks.Its a barrel iv had sitting around,thought id screw it into a savage and see if it will shoot worth a darn.
If I can get it to shoot an inch or so,it will be my work truck gunSounds like a good idea...if the rifle shoots fine...I wouldn't worry 'bout how the bore looks.

You must have some bad and dangerous work trucks around , if you need a rifle to stop 'em....If I can get it to shoot an inch or so,it will be my work truck gun
Even if barrel was hand lapped . No one is going to rod past and out, to Lap the last inch of muzzle Bore .Er shaw 7mm08 barrel,new.does this look horrible or not so bad?View attachment 1188329
A really wise man with a great voice one said; "If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life, never make a pretty woman your wife. So from my personal point of of view get an ugly girl to marry you."That's right, for instance… an ugly wife may not necessarily be a great cook after all.
She may be ugly but she sure can cook!!A really wise man with a great voice one said; "If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life, never make a pretty woman your wife. So from my personal point of of view get an ugly girl to marry you."
