Appreciate it. Ive already jumped through the hoops with them before posting. Im making an educated guess that that scratches arent significant enough to have an enormous affect on the kind of accuracy Im hoping for. Sub MOA is acceptable, .5 MOA is what Im hoping I can coax out of it with taylored handloads. Either way, they say theyll honor the warranty. Ill find out tomorrow.

More curious what caused it, than finding a remedy after the fact!
