I bought a Ruger 1V 25-06 new in 1983, I haven’t shot it much, maybe 100 times. I used my bore scope on it today there seems to be several traces of bluing in the bore. Did Ruger blue barrels without plugging the bore?

I don't think anyone plugs bores for hot bluing. Takes too much time in a production setup and would make a mess if one blows out. I never plug bores for rust bluing either.

To help alleviate some of the problems involved with Ruger No1 rifles, I would simply replace the barrel with a match grade stainless barrel fitted by a competent known gunsmith familiar with Ruger No 1 rifles. If your rifle shoots well, to your satisfaction, smile and carry on.

Bluing, or powder stains?
Likely both, and as already noted, nothing 'I'd' be worried about.
Mining copper, on the other hand ...
Or fired cases not being able to be rechambered, if you rotate them 180 ...
A 7mm Rem, 200 year... garbage... sure looked nice ...
2 or 3 out of 5 no 3's, happily a 22 Hornet and a 223, no problem. The rest ... 'Problem'.
1 of them just needs stock work now.

The biggest problem with accuracy and Ruger's, is the forearm hanger.

Funny, I've owned, and still own, a lot of Ruger single shots and almost always solved any issues with load development (just like any number of other rifles). On the lighter barreled versions (NOT the heavy barreled varmint model), a piece of inner tube or similar between the barrel and fore-end tip can sometimes work wonders.
Some people like to put these fine rifles down, mostly because they don't understand them and have little desire to learn.
A case in point. This is a stock Ruger 1S 45-70 with C-weight 26" barrel and poor factory trigger (that I need to change at some point
)

Worst thing I did was buy a bore scope. Look in the bore and go “ oh my”, shoots well, so why worry. There are a lot of machining marks. I didn’t realize how rough factory barrels were. I was just surprised at the dark streaks on a rifle fired so few times.

Since Ruger started making their own hammer forged barrels in the early 1990s, the QC and precision (aka accuracy) has increased. The conventional wisdom is that part of the earlier problem was the rapid turnout of barrels by Wilson to meet Ruger's demand, if not quality expectations.

As the old trappers would say, whichever way your stick floats! If you are happy with your results, smile and carry on.
