Would you restore Dad's old rifle?

Redo it. Engrave the family name on the new barrel.
Give it to your kids or your grand kids as the case may be one day, after spending some good quality time shooting or hunting it with them.

Agree 110% ...... get it back into hunting shape, use it for what it was made to do, think of your father when you're out there, and hand it off to your kids or grand kids ..... it's a part of your dad, you, and the future of your family ......
