All I can do is tell you a story of my own. I have a Rem .270 BDL that has great sentimental value to me. But after years of use (& rough use) it just didn't shoot like it use to. Plenty good enough, but not super-duper anymore.

I had it re-barreled with a SS Hart, kept the original stock, but carefully pillar & glass bedded it. It really shoots now; like AWESOME WOW!

And you know, it still has its sentimental value & maybe even a little more because I'm so proud of it.

Just FYI...
