I ve wrestled with that before. Hard decision. You could always hang on to the barrel if you decide to put it back to "close original".I’m looking to get one bad! I have a Remington 700 stainless BDL DM in 7mm rem mag that I’m considering having reworked into a 358 Norma. Don’t know if I can bring myself to do it yet as it was passed on to me from my late grandfather.
