What are my options or is it even worth it? This is the factory barrel that came with the rifle originally. I was replaced by an A&B barrel also in 06. The A&B barrel shoots under .6" but the factory barrel will not shoot better than 1.5 inches which was fine for hunting back in the time. I think they barrel could have shot better with reloads. I also was very green and used to clean it from the muzzle and I had a smith tell me the crown was messed up...
