I purchased a used 700 VSSF-P chambered in 22-250 about 4 years ago. It was already equipped with a timney trigger when I got it. I have read over and over again about how well this gun should shoot. The best I can get from it is 3/4 moa from factory loads. It could all still be me at this time holding back its performance. I am working on a hand load but noticed something interesting today after shooting some factory rounds. If I look in through the ports to the crown it looks like there are two very large burrs left from cutting the crown. Imagine a 2 flute cutting tool that was cutting and you stopped and pulled it away. I tried to get a couple pictures and have attached them. I’m reaching out to some much more knowledgeable people to understand what effect this has on the rifles performance. I’ll be reaching out to a local smith in the next couple days but would like to get opinions here first. I’m willing to accept it needs to be scrapped and need a new barrel ??
I attached two pictures. The one looking straight into the break shows the two points of concern at 1:00 and 7:00 with blue arrows. The second is from the left side port looking in to show the depth of the burr.
