The re-boreing to the next larger caliber is not only possible, but less expencive, and retains the greater amonnt of collector value of the name on the rifle. However, if one simply wants a very good action, and wood, that comes on a quality old rifle,and collector value is less of a consideation,then a well done rebarrel is the way to go, especially if you intend keeping this rifle for hunting, and with no idea of selling it later. For around $7K+ regulation ammo, a complete re-barrel with chopper lump barrels, in the exact same configuration as the origenal, and regulated to your loads, can be had from JJ at champlin's. If the name on the rifle is that important to you, then a 100% origenal, that shoots, is the way to go.

The names are not that important to me! What I want is, a double rifle that shoots where I look, and every time I pull the trigger, little more than that is important to me! I simply do not care where my rifle is made, as long as those two features are built into it!
