It's not selective breeding, if it's going to do anything to a scratch then it's going to do something to other parts as well. Polishing a bore and/or hand lapping is another thing altogether different.
I haven't read any of those "old fella" methods but I'm pretty sure they aren't practiced these days. I know some National & International Shooters and they don't bother with this sort of rubbish since their Match Grade Barrels are already hand lapped, then it's just a matter of a few rounds down the bore. Most do admit/comment that any imperfections in the chamber reaming will smooth out but will have little affect in the short term.
Stix is not shooting competition so I'll stick with "just go and shoot the bloody thing"... he'll die from worry rather than old age if he keeps up with this nit picking every fault he can see...that doesn't matter two hoots from a factory rifle... Sako or whatever.
Pity the poor Gunsmith if Stix ever had a Custom Rifle made for him, I'm sure there would be numerous faults he could find.... Better pay $10,000 rather than $5,000 for a rifle for the six months it has to be sent back for this or that little mark/fault. FMD.
It's just a Sako....!!!!

I do polish the throats of my bores to get rid of the carbon (HOW DARE YOU GRETA, YOU HAVE STOLEN MY DREAMS ):

Oh yeah, 50 buks says your target will have no idea about those scratches in the throat.
Your looking too closely, it's a problem you get when you have an eye for detail and a quest for perfection.
I wouldn't be wearing away more metal away just to make the throat look pretty.

There is NO debate about the shape of ice cubes...
You see, drinking Scotch is an experience for the senses...so for complete sensory pleasure, only cubed/square edged ice is capable of delivering that bright "tinkaling klink-a-bink" to our ears to give us a total sensory experience, no matter whether your cup is glass or crystal...
If you have a natural attraction to round ice cubes, its most likely your a lost soul looking for his place in the world who likes drinking Southern Comfort...

While it can be refreshing on ice, Personally the only whisky I keep on the bar is so smooth it doesn't need ice to make it palatable.
When I do break out the ice, it's in cubes. I'll leave those balls for the hipsters
I've got a 70% abv whisky from a micro distillery in the Adelaide hills that's only available to those who know the secret handshake in my decanter. It's considered extremely smooth by seasoned drinkers.
It's spent most of its life on American oak and short time on French oak, It's almost as sweet liqueur despite having no artificial flavoring (or colouring), a result of using nothing but the finest oaks. That's something most of those expensive high end distillers can't lay claim to
Perhaps swabbing some through that rough bore might smooth it out
Stix wrote:Yea ok...!!
Ill swab some through the bore...id rather a glass...but if you'll only let me drink it through a 20 cal barrel, il in...
Surely you chill it first...
Drinking 70% anything abv spirit is sure to give you 90% alcohol burn & 10% taste at our room temps ...

It's simply impossible to polish away scratches without removing metal
