just to remove anything thats in the bore. It also slicks up the bore for a nice smooth feel when reloading on a dirty bore. Its not imperfections but a good way to ensure everything is cleans out of the grooves and you have a nice clean bore to start off with.

OK, I guess we are all entitled to our own opinion and ideas. So its whatever you deceide as to wheter to break in or not. I will continue to do so and be content. You may continue not to do so and also be happy. I know there are other rifle manufacturers who say TO break in the barrel. Custom barrel manufacturers I would assume take more time with their barrels to ensure the bores are virtually burr free. Production manfs on the other hand are a different story.
