And tested a few types of commercial match-grade ammo. I'll probably get back into reloading in the next few months, but for now I'm using store-bought. Had a blast! Not sure why I tried to take a photo down the barrel, but it seemed like a good idea.

What scope is it? Trijicon?

How do you like that scope? Been looking at one for awhile.

Re: Zeroed new scope, broke in new barrel
Thanks guys. Arkansas, I think I like it but need more time in different settings to say much for sure. I'll follow up after I've taken it to an outdoor range with different lighting, distances, and wind factors. So far so good tho!

Looks like a nice rifle. Take care of the barrel with a bore guide.

Agreed, armedzebra!
That was 100 yards. I know a lot of guys on here can shoot smaller groups, but I'm new to long distance precision shooting and I was pretty excited. In the past I've just shot handguns and M14s with iron sights. I see now why folks put so much effort and expense into accuracy--it's addicting!
Casey, I'm embarrassed to admit I've never used a bore guide. Guess I need to invest in one. I'm assuming it guides the push rod during cleaning?

Don't worry about the distance. Looks like you were indoors, anyway. Truth be told, LOTS of folks should find themselves back at the shorter distances till they master the fundamentals. Stay at it. It's a hoot! Especially when you start to push your skill, your gun and your loads out farther.
Listen to Casey on the bore guide. It's solid advice.
