super accurate junk gun, HELP

[blowther]

I bought a used gun the other day. It is an old 700 adl in 22-250 in an ugly Choate Ultimate Snipe Stock. Got a screaming deal on it, it was someones project that never got made. I took off the iron sights, threw an old scope on it and gave it a good cleaning and shot it for S's and G's. It turned out to be a one hole gun that shoots 4k fps. I was going to re-barrel it as a .260 but can't bring myself to take it apart.

My question is, do I have fun shooting the barrel out killing whistle pigs or buy a new .260 possibly a savage mod 10 predator, for long range hunting and bench work. I have a 1k range close and would like to ring the gong with something smaller than my retired .308 Norma. Help

That's why you don't shoot the donor.

Load up a SHIT load of whatever bugholed, and go burn the tube out in an afternoon or 2 shooting pigs/gophers/crows/liberals.

That's what I'd do, at least.

Get you the new barrel for it now so when the one that's on it is wore out you'll be ready

My personal rule... if it shoots, don't touch it until it doesn't shoot any more.
