Will it affect the accuracy? would you exchange it for a new one ? I dont want to shoot it and find out it screwed up the accurcy and than hve to do the warrinty thing
 
Since any warranty work needs to be done by the warranty depot, and it is the owners responsibility to get it there, it probably would cost you the same for you to have a smith crown it while he is glass bedding it properly, floating the barrel, adjusting the trigger and mounting the scope.

Weird marks for a new gun... it may or may not affect accuracy, there is no way of knowing without testing it now and then again after having it crowned.
