Hi There, I have a Sako Finnbear in .270 that I bought new over 30 years ago,first rifle). It sat for about 10 years and now I can't get it to shoot like it used to. I had it pillar bedded which helped a little. The smith noted some throat erosion at the time. When measuring for case overall length, I see that from saami coal 3.30, my freebore is about .110. My question is: Would setting the barrel back be advised or just go for a new barrel? I don't really like the idea of putting an aftermarket barrel on it but I could get over it.
Thanks for any advice. Stu
