Bought my first ever Marlin 882 SS WMR rifle. It is used but in very good condition. As I do with any "new" gun I wiped it down and ran a bore snake with Rem Oil down the barrel. It looks good. But instead of the larger, more obvious, and somewhat more spaced rifling lines I noticed closer and lighter concentric circles in the spiral of rifling. This is, apparently, the Marlin "Microgroove" system. The lines seem so light to me. Can anybody tell me how effective this kind of rifling is? All other factors being equal, what kind of accuracy can I expect? Thanks for your opinions.
