Would you re-barrel this old rifle?

The only one I know of that might match the same contour would be Shilen. As far as matching the "Blueing" I have no idea on that one.

It is a beautiful rifle, especially for it's age. But I'm with you in wanting to get away from the 30-06.

I got a reply from McGowan and they said if I send in the barrel they can match the contour at no extra cost. This is very, very tempting. I had a 7x57 for a little while (Ruger RSI) but it was not an accurate gun, and inaccurate guns don't last long in my safe.

A 1960 Savage, that looks like that, chambered in 7x57 Mauser... oh my.
