[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 1838952, member: 69192"] To answer your question I would first clean the bore up and try shooting the rifle. My experience with Featherweight rifles is that they are not the most accurate shooters due to the lack of steel around the bore and the barrel moving due to excessive heat and the barrel moving because it heated up. And....the answer to your question is there is not reason that your rifle will not shoot well if it is re barreled; and then rebedded/restocked and re-triggered. I buy donor rifles for the actions only and rebuild them and they all shoot just fine. I use OLSON GUNSMITHING out of Montana, his work is impeccable and his prices are fair. Although I use Olson, I am sure there are many good gunsmiths to re-barrel your rifle and have it shoot well. Good luck with your build. [/QUOTE]
