Close to factory, would be the way I would go. A plain unsexy sporterbarrel in another oh six or even a whelen wouldn’t be bending the rules too much. You’ve got a classic gun, made back when they gave a damn. And it has history and mystery. Blued steel and brown a dented walnut stock speaks volumes. Tupperware guns aren’t heirlooms. Ruger Americans aren’t something you are proud to pass on. And neither is a cut up classic old Remington made to be something it never was meant to be.

I have a 300 win mag I bought in 78 that has a documented 770 rounds through it and still shoots tight. I had a buddy that thought his 7mm was going out, a little cleaning with some sweets, a little trigger adjustment, he was back in business.As for rebarreling, I did not look to see if your are eastside or westside, don't know what kind of hunting you do. But if I was a westside elk hunter I would be looking at the place down in Oregon and maybe go with elk slamming 35. Whelan. Or just stick with the 06 if you already have brass and dies yes, big loss in accuracy. Ive been reloading for 30 yr's. Round count guessing 800. sweets is my go to and scrubbed with a brass brush from the receiver end wiped dry patch..2lb trigger and bedded .its likes imr 4064 at 49gr with 165 bthp.I find it hard to believe an 06 would be shot out with that few of rounds? You said you have sweets, just to be sure, soak your barrel good with sweets, stand it in a corner barrel down on something to catch any runoff and let it sit for a couple days then run a patch through it, I bet it comes out greenish which means you have fouling, run patches until no more green and let it sit again with a wet barrel for a couple days and clean again, keep doing that until you get no greenish color after it sits a couple days with a barrel wet with sweets. I had a couple guns that took over a week to get them cleaned up completely and they shot almost like new guns again after I was finished.

Thinking about making a 1000 yarder, or put a sporter barrel. Have my 7mag plus a choice of others to Hunt with.! What to do?
They looked through a bore scope and found the rifling scared. The throat was scratched! I have 500 brass once fired and maybe 800 bullets plus Dies..It was a 1in moa at 100 yrds. When i get it back in 3 months it will be a 1-2 in moa at 200 yrds . 2yrs ago my horse fell on the scabbard side ,I bailed off. A few days later I took a elk. So thought all good ,till i went up to the Range. I think the Barrel got Bent.I have a 7mag that shoots great ,so ive been not lucky with it,,lol still a virgin. Thanks for all the support. I assume the 700 wood stock has a non visible crack, therefore Im getting a fiber stock for it.Mount better scope mounts on a rail and havent decided which scope as yet.However it will be moa.
