Hi all! I bought an R700 5R off the EE. Everything looked OK until I found this.... is this normal? Will it affect the rifle's use? Is it anything I should be concerned about? I was told it was about 80 rounds down the pipe. Mind you the barrel was crowned. So take a look at the picture and you tell me.

Somehow I suspect that you have never removed the barrelled action from the stock...
If you don't like the unfinished looking end of the screw, grab it in an electric drill and spin it against some emery cloth. Polish it up.
 
I'm an AR shooter. The 700's are relatively new territory to me. That's why I asked. Google didn't give many pictures of this section of the rifle either so big thanks for clarifying.
