    Bent 308 barrel - what would you rechamber to?

    Greetings all, I had a horiffic fall recently and after re-sighting my rifle (308 85 Finnlight) I have 6 clicks of right windage left.... after getting the rifle checked out by Hardy Rifle Engineering, it turns out my near broken knee is the least of my problems: the barrel has a banana in it now.
    My question: can this be resolved through any heat treatment etc or is a re-barrel required? Note - the rifle still shoots fine (albeit there is F* All windage left and there is a touch on the stock on one side of the barrel).
    If a re-barrel is required, what cal would you recommend?(I have another 308 in the safe...)
