    Carbon or a shot out barrel?

    These photos are from my 6.5SAUM with about 350 rounds on it. The bad pictures are from an inch or two after the throat. The good picture is middle of the barrel. Is that just carbon or is that fire cracking of the steel? Should I keep trying to scrub it out or is it part of the barrel...

    Mk4 spotter, TMR or H32 help me decide

    aftermarket lens covers for Leica 3200 binos??

    I have been using these for about a week and at 1 team match. They are great but the lens covers suck. Are there any aftermarket options for better lens covers? Either brand specific or generic? Some flip up caps could work but that would present other performance deficiencies.
