I traded a savage 17hmr a while back for a 10/22 with 2k of ammo and finally took it out. There seems to be a problem with my barrel. I had to adjust the sights to the lowest point and it still shoots low. I took the barrel off and there is a nasty ring cut in the barrel. Like they had a squib and drilled it. So what are my options. I was looking on eBay for a factory take off and found a few but they are blued and my gun is stainless. I'm not looking to spend a whole bunch of money on it. Or should I just sell it as a build gun. Let me know what your ideas are.

Stainless barrels turn up from time to time here and at rimfirecentral.
Also try a WTB post.
What sights are on it?
Where is the barrel damage?
Near the muzzle?
Cut the barrel?

"I had to adjust the sights to the lowest point and it still shoots low."
With the factory sights, you raise the rear sight or just the notch to raise the point of impact.
A bulged barrel can still shoot straight, at least good enough for plinking.
If all the shots are going low and to the same place, then you just have a POI problem.

Even if it is shooting hi/low, Does it group well at say 50yds?
If the groups are good, pop a low cost scope on it.
May the best cost effective solution.
And, check this suggestion from above.Oh and it's probably heavily leaded and needs a bore scrubbing.Comment
