The manufacturer said the same thing to me before I sent it back .If you send it back chances are theyre more than likely not even going to make a fuss ,they will take one look at the scratch and either rebarrel or send you another rifle.
I have already taken it out and did the barrel break in yesterday. I shot a total of 20 shots for the break-in and 5 extra shots to try to get the best group I could. I put on a cheapo 6x24 CVLife scope I had and shot some groups at 100yds. The first 10 I was getting the scope sighted in and just shot without worrying about a group but the next 15 I decided to see if I could get any kind of group. I took some pics of the 10 shot group which measures about .880" and then I had 5 extra left over so I tried to get the best group I could from those which turned out to be .550". Hopefully once I get my good scope on it and some better reloads that I can get it to shoot a little better.
