    So I finally got my borescope today. I've never seen inside a barrel and don't know exactly how things should look like. If I'm not mistaken, it appears I have some carbon buildup but not an entire carbon ring. Can anybody confirm?

    Anyhow, some thing went wrong. I recently took my rifle out for some shooting @475 yards on a 12x12 plate and had lots of missed and the few hits were not consistent at all. I figured she was telling me she needed some cleaning. Took the rifle home and cleaned it up. Went back out to 710 expecting I would be on the plate at least. Nope!!!

    In the past, I've been able to make these shots so easy. I though I didn't clean well enough and had a carbon ring. I bore scoped the barrel and got the images I've posted. Any feedback is appreciated.
     
    Get a bronze brush in your chamber/neck area and some good carbon remover (boretech c4) and the little bit of carbon you have in there should scrub right out,

    I highly doubt that minimal amount of carbon is causing your accuracy issues,

    I would check your scope mount,rings torque etc make sure nothing is moving around.
    Also check your muzzle device to make sure it hasn't come loose.

    I had my rifle do that to me it all of the sudden starting shooting like shit and it ended up being my brake that had come loose.

    Hopefully it's something obvious.
