I was cleaning my rifle and I noticed this mark on the end of the barrel. I can't tell if this is a nick or just where the rifling ends. Haven't noticed it before but also haven't cleaned it with the same lighting I have now. Any thoughts?

It's a Sauer 100 with maybe 150 rounds though it. Only cleaned from the breach end.

Best to just buy a Tikka and be done with it. (Is that the Rokslide answer for everything?!?!?!).

How does it shoot?

Ok, I think I was just being paranoid. I believe it's just where the rifling meets the crown. When I rotate my rifle, I can see the same shiny spot at the end of every groove.

Yeah, it just looks like a little bevel leading into the crown of the barrel.

Did you take that picture through some stained glass?
Lol, couldn't get my camera with 4 damn lenses to focus on it up close so I had to take it from farther away and then zoom way in.
