@ TX Hunter- I have considered re-barreling just to have something different, and more accurate than the original military barrel thats on it now. There's nothing really wrong with it the way it is, and another 8mm barrel may very well go back on it. I'm just tossing around options as the OP is doing
Also, I'm not a huge fan of the military style "step down" taper on the original barrels.

Yeah like I said previously I look forward to building a good relationship with the 8×57. Until such a time I feel like I want something else. Only then will I worry about conversions. Thanks txhunter.

I first bought a stainless Wilson barrel from a gunsmith in NY....He was clearancing them out....I think #3 countour....(I wanted a hunting gun..not a target gun)....Then I bought a barreled FN Mauser action from a friend with a gun shop....It was mint....Then a very light synthetic choate stock....I carried it to a good gunsmith I know and had him put it all together....It took several years for this project..but I was in no hurry....It cuts a ragged hole at 100 yrds..no problem....
