[QUOTE="Ben Gallardy, post: 1790623, member: 110137"] I appreciate all the responses. Some very good points made. Thanks! At this point it seems like the most logical path is to keep the rifle, throwing a nice synthetic stock on it, and a new trigger, and start shooting it. As far as the safety of the barrel, it had been shot before the holes where discovered, by myself and the previous owner, with no issues. I will have it looked at by my gunsmith just for good measure...especially before the kids start shooting it in a few years. I don’t plan on loading any high pressure rounds either. That’s a heavy barrel and the depth of the holes looks nearly the same as the flutes on my Rem 700 Sendero. [/QUOTE]
