   Probably go for a good second hand Tikka or Howa in same caliber, be about the same price. 6.5 X 55 is a great accurate caliber and fine for our game.

   Cant get much hotter than what a Husky 1600 can handle. Many years ago somebody did some research and the Husky was the only rifle that you could fully pack the barrel with sand, fire it, and still...

   Might just be easier to buy a whole new howa 1500 in 6.5x55 for around the same price as a barrel. And then you get modern action strength so hotter reloads.

   Mauser 98 so probably not-be worth the ask though. Strangely enough was given a parker hale 308 barrel, a bit worn but useable, just the other day. Think that would good for a close range bush pig...

   Not worth it. Part out the stock and put the old girl on the cupboard as a momento. You can pick up an entire already sporterized Swede for what a rebarrel will cost.

   Gunworks have some Mauser barrels listed on their site, 308 though. Not sure if they would be compatible with your husky though? ...

    What makes you say the barrel is worn out? Have you considered cutting the last inch or two or back boring it to see if that helps? If you’re going to remove it then nothing to lose - you might be...

    I would keep my eyes out for a nice modern used 6.5 x 55 myself for the same money as rebarrel. I assume you're using lower pressure loads in the m96?

    Rebarrelled, you have muscle memory and learned reflexes for that, changing to a different rifle will mean a period of adjustment.
