[QUOTE="6.5x300 WBY, post: 1213877, member: 89150"] I recently acquired a rem 700 BDL in 30-06 from my brother who kind of recently passed away. Pancreatic cancer at 50 took him. Well my brother said he never wants his guns sold and I get that. But its a really old BDL that he has had for a long time. Not sure of the year but its like 20+ years old. Looks good too. I am going to get new optics for it for sure as I don't know how he could even see through the older ones. Ancient Bushnell 3x9. UGG. I am also going to get a recoil pad probably a limbsaver pad for it. But here is the big question that really bothers me the most. If I did a rebarrel of this gun in the future to a 24 inch whatever would you think that doing these changes makes this gun less of the one I got and kind of takes the gun that was his to remember him by and change all that. If you know what I mean. I want it to still be my brothers and still have the memories of him when I take it to the field. I don't want to loose the THIS WAS MY BROTHERS gun and mess that up. I just didn't know where to post this and I am sure its not a good topic in any place here. But hope to get some answers. Still having a hard time with his loss back in November Brian [/QUOTE]
