Will a slight nick on the outer edge of my barrel crown affect accuracy?

[MOJO67]

Long story, but I nicked the outer edge of the end of my barrel this afternoon on my Rem 700. The nick is ever so slight and is hard to see, but you can feel it by running your finge across it. I included a pic to show the area it's located.

What do you guy's think? Should I be concerned, or is this a non issue?

No worries.

Wipe the photoshop red off and your good to go

Why would you think a nick in that area would have an effect on your accuracy?

A ding in that area is a non-issue.

A nasty gash like that may of bent the barrel.

That rifle is ruined!

Yeppers, the barrel is bent, I can see it clearly. Point of inpact will changed to low right.

I'll give you $50 for it in this irreparable state, but only as a favor.

Seriously, I can't see that the ding, scrape, scratch in that area would effect accuracy.
