Well, I went to the gunsmith and he said the barrel is in excellent condition and the mauser action is the best one that was made. He can throw it all together and put a new finish on it for less than a new 700 (which is what I would've gotten). Next question: Are Barska scopes any good? I'm trying to buy something in the 200-350 dollar range and Barska seems to have the best specs for that price range. Any thoughts? I'm looking at the Barka SWAT models.

Thanks,
Patrick
