Conservative, folks who buy collectables rarely shoot them. If your concern is in the value of the rifle I'd hang it on the wall and leave it alone. If you wish to use it whether just at the range or as a hunter then I would rebarrel. I don't think you will help yourself by simply installing a take-off barrel from another Swede. If I were going to rebarrel a rifle in pursuit of accuracy I would have it done correctly with truing the action, bolt etc and a good commercial barrel installed. Personally, I think you would increase the actual value of the rifle. George
