I am all for relining. I would do it in a heartbeat and I would think very carefully about whom I would have do it and what would be the liner.

The alternative is to rebarrel it, save the old barrel for resale but this is less satisfactory because you are then faced with looking at this new barrel every time you bring the rifle to your shoulder.

In my opinion, a rifle that is not shot or not shootable is not a rifle any longer. Of course, that is just my very inexpensive opinion.
