[QUOTE="B23, post: 661512, member: 13222"] I'd go with option #2. Shoot it and see how it shoots but I wouldn't spend a whole lot of time and money trying to MAKE it shoot well if it doesn't right out of the box. At that point I would get with one of the MANY excellent smiths on this forum and have them rebarrel it for you with a good aftermarket barrel. A custom barrel, IMO, is a win win. Not only do you get a MUCH higher quality barrel that will most likely shoot everything well but you also get a chamber that is cut MUCH better than the factory chamber which also lends itself to a better shooting rifle. IMHO, unless it shoots well out of the box, sell the factory barrel and put a good custom barrel on. [/QUOTE]
