I know, I know, "How does it shoot?", "Why did you even borescope it?"

65rds on the barrel, and lightly cleaned it twice before I got the borescope (Possum Hollow Guide/Boretech V-Stix), so unfortunately I don't know what it looked like brand new.
The "Chatter" type marks are at the very start of the lands near the throat.
Its a 4 Groove Cut-rifled Hawk Hill
Is it Poor Lapping? Poor cleaning? Poor Chambering?

There are some other scratches farther down the barrel and I honestly think they might be from the Teslong Rigid borescope, even though I ran it through the boreguide/chamber first, and went very slow and gentle.
There is not enough room for o-rings around the mirror/lockring, but I am going to use a little electrical tape or something in the future, as well as not to use it unless needed. I just couldn't help but take a look and video of my first high end barrel.
