Rebarrel or re-blue?

[triton]

Have an m77 7mm mag rifle, it has a sako barrel on it. Needs a serious re finish. Shoots great! I also have an as new m77 take off barrel. Should I re-blue it as is? Or put the new barrel on it? What do you guys think? If this should be in the gunsmith forum. My apologies mods. Feel free to delete it.

If it shoots great, just re-blue

In my opinion, if it shoots straight, do not change the barrel. The old saying, IF IT IS NOT BROKEN, DO NOT FIX IT, applies in this case. A well done re-bluing will surely go a long way to making good again.

I'd buy a Sako action and put the Ruger bbl on it.
