I should clarify.
By saying
Honestly ifthe barrelwere in good condition and was a pre-64 thenI wouldn't touch it.
I mean, I would pay the $450 and run away as fast as I could
and not do any modifications to it but I would
definetly shoot it and hunt with it.
Ahh, that makes more sense to me. I think that if the barrel wasn't good, then I would without a doubt buy a .30-06 barrel and find the same model of Unertl scope that Carlos Hathcock used and make a duplicate of his rifle...
